Did you know that removing small, superficial spider veins on your legs doesn’t just enhance your appearance — it also brings real health benefits? Many people think these veins are only cosmetic, but they can be early signs of venous insufficiency.
Dr. Juan Carlos Peralvo, Vascular and Endovascular Surgeon in Cuenca, Ecuador, explains why removing spider veins with advanced technology can greatly improve your circulation.
What are spider veins?
They’re dilated small blood vessels near the surface of the skin, medically known as telangiectasias. Most common in women, but men are affected too — especially on legs and ankles.
While often painless, they can indicate deeper vein issues and may worsen over time.
Why does removing them help your circulation?
Treating these veins reduces superficial venous reflux, promoting better blood flow. Additionally, it:
- Relieves symptoms like heaviness, fatigue, or burning.
- Prevents further complications like deep varicose veins.
- Improves tissue oxygenation.
Available treatments
At Dr. Peralvo’s clinic, we offer minimally invasive options:
1. Advanced laser technology
- Precisely removes veins without harming the skin.
- Outpatient procedure with minimal downtime.
2. Sclerotherapy
- A solution is injected to collapse the treated vein.
- Ideal for small to medium-sized veins.
Both procedures are safe, effective, and surgery-free.
When to see a specialist?
If you notice itching, burning, night cramps, or visible veins, it’s time to schedule an evaluation.
