Is Vein Treatment Right for Your Concern?
Match your vein concern to the right approach.
If you have spider veins on the legs, what helps?
Sclerotherapy injection is a common first-line approach. Multiple sessions build cumulative improvement.
If you have spider veins on the face, what works?
A vascular laser targets the visible vessels. Provider evaluates lesion type and protocol.
If you have varicose veins, what is the path?
Provider evaluation. Some larger varicose veins are referred to a vascular specialist for ultrasound-guided treatment.
If you have pregnancy-related veins, when should you treat?
Discuss after delivery. Some veins resolve naturally postpartum; provider re-evaluates at that point.
If you are scheduled for sclerotherapy, what should you plan for?
Brief compression-stocking use for a few days post-treatment is typically recommended.
Clearer skin, without the spider veins
If varicose and spider veins bother you, you have options. At Adult and Pediatric Dermatology in Forest Hills, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michael Paltiel and the team treat visible leg and facial veins with sclerotherapy and laser, matched to the type and size of the vein, and refer larger varicose veins to a vascular specialist when that is the right call.
What are vein treatments?
Vein treatments at Adult and Pediatric Dermatology get rid of damaged, visible veins that can appear on your face, legs, and other areas. These treatments make unsightly veins disappear to give you clearer, younger-looking skin. Adult and Pediatric Dermatology offers a variety of solutions for varicose and spider veins.
Why should I choose 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
Aching, painful, or burning veins
Skin discoloration
Pain when standing or sitting
Itching skin
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?
The expert-trained team at Adult and Pediatric Dermatology let you know if you’re a candidate for vein treatment after reviewing your medical history, completing a physical exam, and discussing your desired outcome. They might recommend a vascular ultrasound to get a better picture of the health of your veins.
What are the risk factors for vein diseases?
Varicose and spider veins can happen to anyone, but the following things increase your risk of developing them:
Older age
Obesity
Being a woman
Pregnancy
Standing or sitting for long periods
Family history of vein problems
Adopting healthy habits reduces your chance of getting varicose and spider veins. Eat nutritious foods, get regular exercise, maintain a healthy weight, and avoid standing or sitting in the same position for long periods. Change your body positions often.
