Spider Veins Treatment
Spider veins are small, enlarged veins that appear close to the surface of the skin in web or thread-like clusters. They are usually red or purple and can appear anywhere on the body, though spider veins on legs and the face are quite common.
For those looking into how to get rid of spider veins, a medical assessment can help determine whether treatment is appropriate and which options may be suitable. At The Vein Institute and Spider Veins Australia, we offer consultations for clinically assessed spider veins treatment options that are non-surgical in nature.

Why Spider Veins Australia ?
Spider veins are a common vein condition that can vary widely from person to person. Understanding what may cause them, how they can present and when assessment may be helpful can support informed decisions about care.
Common symptoms associated with spider veins
Many people experience no physical symptoms from spider veins. Others may notice itching, aching, or general discomfort in the affected area. These symptoms can vary from person to person.
Factors that may contribute to spider veins
Spider veins can develop for a range of reasons. Common contributing factors include genetics, hormonal changes, pregnancy, ageing, prolonged standing or sitting and a history of vein conditions. Often, more than one factor is involved.
When spider veins may require further assessment
In some cases, spider veins may be linked to underlying vein issues. Changes such as increasing discomfort, swelling or clusters around the ankles may indicate the need for a vascular assessment to rule out deeper venous disease.
Spider veins vs. varicose veins
Spider veins affect small surface vessels, while varicose veins involve larger veins beneath the skin and may require a different approach to management. Understanding the difference can help guide appropriate care and treatment.
About Spider Veins Australia
Doctor-led clinical team
Our clinic is led by medical practitioners with experience in the assessment and treatment of spider veins. Consultations are conducted to determine whether treatment is clinically appropriate based on individual circumstances.
Non-surgical and minimally invasive management options
Depending on medical assessment, non-surgical options may be considered for people seeking information on how to get rid of spider veins. These options may include Sclerotherapy, Nd:Yag Laser or CLaCS (a combination of cryotherapy and laser).
Outpatient procedures and recovery considerations
Spider vein removal laser treatments are walk-in, walk-out procedures. Recovery time and downtime generally takes 3-5 days, but can vary depending on the treatment method and individual factors. However, as our treatments are minimally invasive, the recovery is usually quick and seamless.
Spider Vein Treatment Options
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a commonly used spider vein treatment. It involves administering a sclerosant solution into the vein to seal it and stop blood from flowing through it. Once it’s sealed, your body will gradually absorb it. Sclerotherapy may be used to treat larger spider veins and feeder veins located deeper beneath the skin’s surface.
Nd:YAG laser spider vein treatment
The Nd:YAG laser, which we also use in the CLaCS procedure, is a non-invasive form of spider vein removal that does not involve injections or incisions. The laser delivers targeted energy through the skin to treat spider vein clusters. Cryotherapy may be used during treatment to assist with skin cooling and patient comfort.
CLaCS (Cryo Laser & Cryo Sclerotherapy)
CLaCS, or Cryo Laser and Cryo Sclerotherapy, combines transdermal laser technology and mild sclerosant injections to treat complex spider vein clusters. This minimally invasive approach may be discussed during consultation with patients seeking information on how to remove spider veins using combined treatment techniques.
