Spider veins form when excess blood backs up in the blood stream. The body releases this pressure by developing new veins. Not only are spider veins unsightly, but they can also cause aching, swelling, burning, and night cramps in the legs. Reticular veins are those blue veins that lie well below the skin's surface and are larger than the spider veins. They often are the source of spider veins and must also be removed in order to achieve a long-term result in your treatment. Finally, varicose veins are quite large, and tend to bulge with a rope-like texture on the skin's surface. They are likely to cause pain and be related to more serious vein disorders. The treatment of these varicose veins is usually outside the realm of treatments available at MedLasers and are best treated by a vascular surgeon. The best technique used to treat spider and reticular veins involves laser treatments and sclerotherapy.

Below are offices in San Jose and the surrounding areas that offer spider vein removal and laser vein treatments.
