Venous insufficiency is a chronic condition that worsens with time. If you don’t remove the varicose veins promptly, the continued blood accumulation will over-extend the vein walls, eventually causing a rupture that leads to profuse bleeding. Other complications of untreated vein disease include skin discoloration, skin disease, leg ulcers, and deep vein thrombosis. You should ideally treat vein disease long before these complications occur.

The best treatments for spider veins and varicose veins are minimally invasive procedures that cause no pain or discomfort and conclude within an hour. Your vein doctor may recommend numerous minimally invasive vein treatments — but the ideal treatment for you depends on your unique concerns, goals, medical history, and other factors.

The following is an overview of the best treatments for spider veins and varicose veins:

• Radiofrequency Ablation: Thermal energy is delivered into the diseased saphenous vein via a catheter inserted through an incision on the skin’s surface. The diseased vein closes, and the accumulated blood freely reroutes to healthier veins.

• Endovenous Laser Ablation: Laser energy is delivered into the affected saphenous vein via an endovenous laser inserted through an incision on the skin’s surface. The problematic vein closes, and the accumulated blood freely reroutes to healthier veins.

• VenaSeal: A medical-grade adhesive is injected into the diseased saphenous vein to fuse its walls, turning it into a hardened tissue that gets absorbed by the body. The accumulated blood reroutes to healthier veins.

• Ambulatory Phlebectomy: The superficial varicose veins on the skin’s surface are extracted through small incisions on the skin’s surface.

• Sclerotherapy: A special medication called a sclerosant is injected into the spider veins to turn them into hardened scar tissues eventually absorbed by the body.

Varicose vein treatments are covered by medical insurances if you have underlying vein disease. Insurance plans pay to make you feel better, not look better. As such, radiofrequency ablation and endovenous laser ablation are almost always eligible for insurance coverage because they treat the underlying vein disease. VenaSeal isn’t always eligible for insurance coverage because it’s a relatively new procedure — not yet covered by all insurance plans. Ambulatory phlebectomy and sclerotherapy aren’t typically covered by insurance plans because they’re cosmetic procedures. However, in some cases, sclerotherapy may receive insurance coverage if you have underlying venous insufficiency. Please discuss your insurance coverage options with your vein doctor.
