Though the legs may not be the most visible part of the body, we understand that you want to feel comfortable in the clothing of your choice. Many people wear long pants as a measure to hide troublesome spider veins from the world.
Spider veins are more commonly seen in women, though some men may also notice small clusters of blue, purple, and red veins. The man who develops spider veins, however, may not feel embarrassment due to their appearance being somewhat hidden by leg hair.
Women in their forties and beyond may notice spider veins on areas such as the ankles and legs, though women in their twenties are not immune to this problem. Spider veins can develop for a number of reasons:
The sclerotherapy procedure is minimally invasive, delivering a special formulation of medication into problematic veins, resulting in their collapse. The collapse of veins leads to their subsequent fading without harming healthy tissues.
There is no reason you should attempt to hide your legs. Feel just as comfortable in shorts or a skirt as you do in long pants after vein treatment at the Dermatology and Skin Cancer Institute! Schedule your consultation with one of our experienced physicians to learn which therapy is best suited to your needs.

Laser treatment for spider veins
Our Physician Assistant, Amy Hahn, performs safe, effective laser therapy for the removal of spider veins. Laser vein removal in our Lansdale or Fort Washington office is completed in just a few minutes using technology that has been successfully treating veins for more than three decades. Treatment involves heating spider veins with a focused wavelength of light that targets the pigment in blood. This heating works in the same manner as a sclerosing agent, causing the vein to collapse and gradually fade away.There is no reason you should attempt to hide your legs.
