Spider Vein Removal with Sclerotherapy in Flower Mound, TX
Why spider veins appear, how cosmetic microsclerotherapy safely clears them, and what
a properly evaluated treatment plan means for your results.
Spider Vein Removal at The Vein Clinic of Dallas
Spider veins are small, dilated blood vessels that appear near the
surface of the skin, typically presenting as thin red, blue, or purple
lines or web-like clusters on the thighs, calves, and ankles. At The Vein
Clinic of Dallas, spider vein removal is performed personally by Dr. Husein Poonawala , a Harvard-trained vascular and interventional radiologist with double board certification in venous and lymphatic
medicine.
They develop when tiny valves inside surface veins weaken, allowing
blood to pool rather than circulate efficiently. Contributing factors
include genetics, prolonged standing, hormonal changes, pregnancy,
and age. In some cases they are purely cosmetic. In others, they reflect
early-stage venous insufficiency worth evaluating properly. For a
complete overview, visit our
Every treatment begins with a thorough vein health assessment. If
underlying chronic venous insufficiency is contributing to your spider veins, we address that first, as it significantly improves and prolongs
cosmetic results.
Evaluation before injection. We do not inject without understanding what is driving your spider veins. Every patient receives a proper assessment before any treatment begins.
The Coverage and Authorization Process
A brief vein health evaluation confirms the veins are cosmetic and that no underlying vein disease requires attention first.
A sclerosant agent, typically polidocanol or sodium tetradecyl sulfate (Sotradecol), is injected directly into each targeted vein using a very fine needle, causing the vessel wall to collapse and seal.
No downtime. You walk out and carry on with your day. A light compression garment may be recommended briefly to support results.
Treated veins fade gradually over 6 to 8 weeks as the body absorbs the closed vessels. Most patients complete two to three sessions for their clearest outcome.

contributing to your spider veins, the medical treatment of that
underlying condition may be covered separately. We walk you through
