How to treat spider veins on ankles

What are the small, web-like veins on my feet and ankles?

Those small, thin veins that show on your legs, feet, or ankles are known as spider veins due to the way the veins appear to be web-like. While they are usually not painful, they can be unsightly and cause embarrassment. Beyond just cosmetics, spider veins can be a symptom of poor vein health or venous disease.

There are several treatments available to get rid of spider veins, ranging from home remedies to surgery. The best treatment for you will depend on the severity of your condition and your preferences. If you have spider veins, we recommend having a consultation with a health professional or talking to your doctor.

What are some treatment options for spider veins on ankles?

If you are looking into treating spider veins on legs or spider veins on ankles, there are a few different treatment options available, including:

Sclerotherapy

This is a common treatment for spider veins and varicose veins. A solution is injected into the vein, which causes it to collapse and fade away. It is a minimally invasive procedure that is fairly easy and does not require anesthesia. There is no downtime with this procedure.

Endovenous Ablation

This is a newer treatment that uses heat via laser, steam, or radio to close off the veins. A small catheter is inserted into the vein and then heated using lasers, steam, or radiofrequency waves. This treatment is minimally invasive, but it may require local anesthesia. Patients are typically able to resume normal activities the day of the procedure.
