Spider veins (visible clusters of veins that typically appear on the thighs, calves, and ankles) are most common in women. Spider veins are usually harmless, though they can sometimes cause aching, burning, or pain, especially when you have remained standing for long periods of time. Manhattan Aesthetics offers safe, effective, and comfortable treatments to remove and reduce spider veins and restore the appearance of your skin.

How Does Spider Vein Removal Work?
There are two main treatments for spider vein removal. While spider veins are most commonly removed for aesthetic purposes, there are medical reasons some patients may opt for removal as well. Typically, your treatment will include one of the following;
Sclerotherapy: Our doctors will inject the veins with a solution that scars and closes the veins, forcing the blood to reroute through healthier veins. You will see results from this treatment within a few weeks. The same vein may need to be injected more than once.
Laser Surgery: Our doctors send strong bursts of light into the vein to make the vein slowly fade and disappear. Your blood vessels should fade over a period of several months after you have received treatment, but they may not disappear completely.
At Manhattan Aesthetics, we’ll work closely with you to determine which procedure is right for you based on the size and number of veins being addressed.
Am I A Good Candidate for Spider Vein Removal?
You may be a good fit for spider vein removal if you find your visible veins to be aesthetically displeasing. Spider veins can occasionally become painful making removal necessary. Patients of all ages can get spider veins, however, they are more common in adult women.
Factors that contribute to the development of spider veins include;
- Hormonal Shifts
- Weight Fluctuations
- Heredity
- Pregnancy
- Occupations That Require Prolonged Sitting or Standing
Patients should be in otherwise good general health and have realistic expectations about what the procedure can do for them. Your vein specialist will customize a treatment plan to suit your short and long-term goals at the time of your initial consultation. Women who are pregnant or nursing are not candidates for spider vein removal.
What Our Clients Are Saying
"Yesterday I tried Thermiaesthetic which is ThermiSmooth Skin Tightening. I ran over on my lunch break and LoLa who was the Esthetician couldn’t have been nicer! She rubbed a ton of gel on my lower face and neck with my clothes covered with towels then came the funny device. I was nervous as she said I might be a little red after, but I wasn’t at all! The treatment itself was pleasant and I almost fell asleep I was so relaxed! Then the gel was cleaned off about 25 minutes later and then I was good to go! I went back to the office and they were none the wiser! My skin already looks tighter although she recommended another couple of treatments. Which at the price point is affordable. If you need a little lift with no down time I can’t recommend it enough! Plus everyone at Manhattan Aesthetics was delightful!"*

"My experience getting SculpSure at Manhattan Aesthetics was top of the line. The people there are incredibly friendly and the office is spotless and gorgeous. The process of SculpSure is much more efficient than Cool Sculpting, it is less painful and takes less time. I was targeting my abs and as mentioned, the first 5 minutes is challenging but once I was acclimated to the heating and cooling sensations (plus my tech did massage my legs during) it was easy and I was done in 25 minutes. Afterward there was no pain or redness so I decided to do more applicators on my lower back (love handles). The follow up is to simply massage the area twice a day and drink lots of water. It is non-invasive and though I just had it done yesterday, I literally have NO after pain and I am excited to see the results! Five stars for a great experience at Manhattan Aesthetics."*
~ Hedy M
"I had coolsculpting last year and never got much of a result so decided to try sculpsure at Manhattan Aesthetics. I did 8 applicators targeting my abdomen and love handles. Layla my technician warned me the first 4 minutes would be uncomfortable so she distracted me by keeping me company and massaging my leg. After this it was it was easy, painless and actually kind of fun. I have to say the procedure was dramatically faster and less painful than coolsculpting and saw an incredible result. The best part was no downtime whatsoever-the next day I did feel sore like I did an intense ab workout. Definitely better than liposuction-sculpsure 5 stars Layla 5 stars Manhattan Aesthetics 5 stars"*

"I am totally addicted to Manhattan Aesthetics! Chelsea and Craig are so pleasant, kind and helpful. It’s always so nice to see them. The space is gorgeous. Both Lola and Natalie are great!! I couldn’t be happier with the first procedure I have received from Lola. Results were visible weeks before the suggested 6 week mark. I am currently undergoing the ThermiSmooth and will have to wait out the results but I will come back to update. I want to try the microneedling and photofacial next. I am addicted to Manhattan Aesthetics and the wonderful staff here. I came in through a groupon offer and I have no intentions of straying."*

"I am absolutely happy with the service I received at Manhattan Aesthetics. Everyone there is super nice, very friendly. Their office is pretty nice and clean. They have these candles at the front desk that smell fantastic and the melody makes you feel relaxed. I definitely recommend this place to anyone."*
~ B Jacquez
"My experience was nothing short of amazing! the entire staff, specifically Craig, Chelsey and Natalie could not have been more informative, helpful and caring! I learned the hard way that body contouring does in fact work after a long painful expensive bout with coolsculpting at skinney medspa. I then purchased the 4 applicator special at Manhattan Aesthetics for the sculpSURE laser. After 3-4 weeks my flanks were dramatically less bulky with a very noticeable definition. I have since treated my inner thighs and outer thighs. Everything about my experience and the procedure has been phenomenal!"*
~ Julia L
"Manhattan Aesthetics is 5 stars the knowledge of the staff is second to none and I could not be happier with my results. I was referred by a friend and have done both sculpsure and trusculpt and am extremely pleased with the result. Natalie was unbelievable in recommending the best possible treatment to ensure I not only lost my stomach but tightened the skin as well. Chelsea is amazing and went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule and make sure I was seen without a wait."*

Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does a Typical Treatment Take?
The amount of time you’ll spend in-office can significantly vary based on the treatment you’ve enlisted as well as the severity of your concerns. Sclerotherapy can be done in as little as 15-30 minutes while laser surgery may take longer. A topical anesthetic is used to keep patients comfortable throughout both procedures.
What Results Will I See?*
Patients that opt for sclerotherapy can expect smaller veins to diminish in about 3-6 weeks. Larger veins that have been treated will gradually fade over 3-4 months. Multiple sessions may be necessary to achieve your desired outcome with sclerotherapy.
Unwanted spider or varicose veins can disappear within 2-6 weeks after laser surgery. Final results from laser vein removal can take upwards of 3-months. Throughout this time you will notice bothersome veins fade from dark blue to light red before subsiding completely.
Vein removal treatments are unable to prevent future veins from forming. Touch-up sessions may be needed to maintain lasting results with both sclerotherapy and laser surgery.
Is There Any Downtime?
While many patients are able to get back to many of their normal activities the same day with sclerotherapy, laser surgery patients should take 3-7 days to adequately heal. Sclerotherapy patients will need to avoid strenuous exercise for up to 2-weeks. Both procedures require wearing a compression garment as scheduled by your provider. Following a post-procedural recovery plan will yield the best possible outcome.
