At Vein and Vascular Centers of Philadelphia at AAC, we specialize in all aspects of varicose vein evaluation and management including spider veins, varicose veins and leg discoloration/wound caused by PAD/PVD including ulcerations.
 
Varicose veins are abnormally dilated veins that sometimes protrude on the skin surface. Spider veins are smaller versions of varicose veins that can be found anywhere along the leg including the ankles and around the knees. If not treated properly, the symptoms of venous insufficiency can progress to skin changes (darkening and skin thickening), ulcerations, and bleeding. Both men and women can have significant varicose veins and venous insufficiency.
 
Most varicose and spider veins can be treated non-surgically, by microphlebectomy, injection sclerotherapy, and radiofrequency ablation. Using these treatments, veins gradually seal closed and disappear. The blood loss and scarring associated with our procedures are minimized.
