Revive Surgical Institute in Miami offers advanced spider vein treatment options designed to reduce visible veins, relieve symptoms, and help patients feel confident and comfortable in their legs again.
A spider vein is a small, damaged blood vessel that appears close to the surface of the skin, typically forming thin red, blue, or purple lines that resemble a web or branching pattern. These veins most commonly develop on the legs and face and occur when valves inside the veins weaken, allowing blood to pool rather than flow efficiently back to the heart. While spider veins are usually harmless, they can become more noticeable over time and may cause discomfort, itching, or aching in some individuals.
Genetic predisposition or family history of vein conditions
Aging, which can weaken vein walls and valves over time
Hormonal changes related to pregnancy, menopause, or birth control use
Prolonged standing or sitting that increases pressure in the leg veins
Pregnancy, due to increased blood volume and pressure on the veins
Obesity or excess body weight, which adds strain to the venous system
Sun exposure, especially contributing to spider veins on the face
Prior injury or trauma to the skin or veins
Poor circulation or underlying venous insufficiency
Sclerotherapy is a proven and widely used treatment for spider veins that involves injecting a specialized solution directly into the affected veins. This solution causes the vein to collapse and eventually be absorbed by the body, helping to eliminate the appearance of visible spider veins over time. It is a minimally invasive option that can improve both cosmetic concerns and related symptoms.
Laser vein treatments use advanced laser technology to target spider veins beneath the skin without injections or incisions. The laser delivers focused energy that heats the vein, causing it to close while allowing healthy blood flow to reroute through surrounding veins. This treatment is often ideal for smaller veins and patients seeking a non-invasive approach.
Radiofrequency occlusion uses controlled thermal energy to treat problematic veins by gently heating them from within. This process causes the targeted spider veins to close and gradually fade from view as the body absorbs them. RF treatments are precise, effective, and designed to minimize discomfort and downtime.
Endovenous treatments address vein issues from the inside using minimally invasive techniques guided by imaging. A small catheter delivers energy that seals the vein walls, stopping abnormal circulation and improving overall vein function. Over time, the treated vein turns into scar tissue and is naturally absorbed by the body, leading to smoother, healthier-looking skin.
Your appointment begins with a thorough consultation where our specialists review your medical history, assess the severity of your spider veins, and discuss your goals. During this time, we explain the available treatment options, helping you understand which treatment is best suited to achieve safe, effective results.
Before your procedure, the treatment area will be cleaned and marked to guide the precise targeting of affected veins. We provide detailed instructions on how to prepare, including any necessary adjustments to medications or activities to ensure the procedure goes smoothly.
During the procedure, the selected technique – whether sclerotherapy, laser, RF occlusion, or endovenous treatment – is carefully performed while you remain comfortable. Depending on the method, the process typically takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort.
After your procedure, we provide clear post-care instructions to promote healing and optimize results. This may include wearing compression garments, avoiding strenuous activity for a short period, and scheduling follow-up visits to monitor progress and address any concerns.
A follow-up appointment ensures your results are progressing as expected and allows the provider to address any lingering symptoms. Additional treatments may be recommended if necessary to fully achieve the desired improvement in the appearance and comfort of your legs.
Ideal candidates for spider vein treatment are individuals who are bothered by the appearance of visible veins on their skin or who experience discomfort, such as aching, swelling, or fatigue in the legs.

Factors such as skin type, vein size and location, and overall circulation are considered to ensure the chosen procedure is safe and effective, helping patients achieve healthier-looking skin and greater comfort in daily activities.
