Restore Confidence With Vein Treatment in Queens
Vein treatment addresses unwanted spider veins and varicose veins on the legs and face using minimally invasive techniques including sclerotherapy and laser vein therapy. Spider veins are small, dilated blood vessels visible through the skin, while varicose veins are larger, bulging veins that can cause discomfort or pain. At Adult & Pediatric Dermatology in Forest Hills, Queens, Dr. Michael Paltiel evaluates each patient’s vein concerns and recommends the most appropriate treatment approach. Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution directly into affected veins, causing them to collapse and fade. Most patients see significant improvement after 1 to 3 treatment sessions.

vein treatments?
If you have visible varicose or spider veins, vein treatment at Adult and Pediatric Dermatology is for you. Diseased veins can cause:
- Blue or purple veins
- Twisted, cordlike veins
- Bulging veins

Vein treatments destroy the damaged veins, sealing them closed so that they disappear over time. This causes blood flow to reroute to healthier veins.

Is vein treatment
right for me?

Frequently Asked Questions About Vein Treatment
Q: What types of veins can be treated?
A: Common vein concerns include spider veins and small varicose veins on the legs and face. These visible veins can be treated with sclerotherapy, laser therapy, or other minimally invasive techniques depending on their size and location.
Q: What is sclerotherapy and how does it work?
A: Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution directly into the affected vein, causing it to collapse and eventually fade from view. It is one of the most common and effective treatments for spider veins and small varicose veins.
Q: Is vein treatment painful?
A: Most patients report only mild discomfort during vein treatment. Sclerotherapy may cause a slight stinging sensation at the injection site. Laser vein treatments may produce a warm or snapping feeling, but discomfort is generally well tolerated.
Q: How long does it take for treated veins to disappear?
A: Spider veins typically begin to fade within 3 to 6 weeks after treatment. Larger veins may take 3 to 4 months to show full results. Multiple sessions may be needed for optimal improvement.
Q: Are there any side effects of vein treatment?
A: Temporary side effects may include bruising, redness, or mild swelling at the treatment site. These usually resolve on their own within a few days to weeks. Serious complications are rare when treatment is performed by an experienced provider.
Q: Can treated veins come back?
A: Treated veins typically do not return. However, new spider or varicose veins can develop over time due to genetics, aging, or lifestyle factors. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to address any new veins that appear.
