Spider Vein Removal

You see them just below the surface of your skin - unsightly areas of purple, red and blue lines that look like urban roadmaps. Spider veins are common, affecting nearly fifty percent of men and women over 50 years of age, and are most prevalent on thighs and lower legs. Unlike varicose veins that are large, ropy and sometimes painful, spider veins are small and easily treated.

During your initial confidential consultation, Dr. Paul Talbot will discuss the various treatment methods and recommend one or more options. Small spider veins are typically treated using laser technology. If the area of veining is extensive or if the veins are larger, laser treatments combined with sclerosing solution injections will prove most effective and will likely require more than one appointment.

Anesthesia is not required for either procedure and there is little to no pain or disability. There may be some bruising, but you will likely be able to return to your daily activities immediately.

If you are embarrassed by spider veins, contact us today to schedule a private consultation with Dr. Paul Talbot at the Plastic Surgery Center of Hattiesburg.
