Don’t be surprised if you’ve been told that a simple spider vein treatment may alleviate the issue for a while, only to have it come back a couple months later. Unfortunately, you’re not alone. I see patients all the time who come to my office after being treated for spider veins by another vein doctor. They’re frustrated and annoyed that their spider veins have either not been treated effectively (they’re still visible), or they’ve gone away… but then returned The answer to those questions is simple: those vein specialists weren’t treating the source of the problem.
