Mike L.

"From playing soccer my entire life those red and purple veins on my legs from the game started to form at the age of 24. I needed to go somewhere with experts that conduct the procedure to get rid of certain discolorations. I found Body Beautiful on Groupon and came in to talk about my treatment options. They told me about laser treatments and how effective it is. I wasn’t sure if it would work on me since I have had these for 10 years plus but they honestly disappeared instantly! I spread them out between 3 Intense Pulsed Light treatments because the spider veins covered both legs entirely. Loved this treatment."

"Recently I’ve developed a new injury of which a huge bruise the size of a football formed on my leg as a consequence. After a few weeks, the bruise subsided but broken capillaries did not. They were so big I was shocked. They were so unattractive and I was so upset! I researched how to get rid of spider veins and found Body Beautiful online. I called and they were very informative on the phone and scheduled me for a free consultation with the VIP! I met with the injector and she suggested I get sclerotherapy because they were pretty large. The injections were quick and easy and now I have my old leg back. Thank you!"

"I began seeing spider veins on my chest when entering my 40s. At first, I assumed they were just sun spots but they started alternating color to be more purple and blue. So, I went to my doctor to make sure they weren’t varicose veins and he said no, I could have them cosmetically removed and referred me to Body Beautiful. I was nervous that it would be expensive because it’s not covered by insurance but they actually have really good pricing and specials! The treatment was so fast, I was in and out in 15 minutes! Spider veins are gone on my chest and I’m happy and confident."

"Thanks so much for my IPL treatment for spider veins and age spots! I hated having the dark veins on my face, it was so hard to cover up with makeup. This treatment was really fast and painless, thanks for the help!"

You have questions? We have answers!

Most insurance plans will cover vein medical conditions. Patient symptoms may include pain, discomfort, aching, swelling, heaviness, itching, cramping, and discoloration among others. Because we treat the cause of the symptoms, rather than providing only a cosmetic improvement, the treatment is usually covered by insurance. Some insurances require pre-authorization which our office will take care of. Call us today at (724) 885-2373 to find out more.

Spider veins are unsightly clusters of purplish veins located just beneath the skin. The individual veins are tiny, often less than 1 millimeter. They commonly appear on the legs, but are also sometimes visible on the nose or cheeks. They have a distinctive web-like appearance, hence their name.

Varicose Veins are the much larger cousins of Spider Veins. They appear as large, ropey veins which wind their way up the legs and thighs. Although it’s possible to get varicose veins in other places, they almost always occur in these two areas. Spider Veins and Varicose Veins are symptoms of underlying vein disease.

Spider Veins are seen as clusters of very small blood vessels just under the skin which become visible on the surface of the skin. These tiny veins are filled with deoxygenated blood which gives them a blue or purplish color.

They usually occur on the legs, face or nose. Fortunately there are many effective treatments for Spider Veins. These can be combined with lifestyle changes to promote optimum long lasting results.

Tired, heavy, aching legs, swelling, itching, cramping, Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS), and even ulcers of the ankles and feet can all be associated with vein issues. Often patients do not realize they have vein issues until their legs start becoming painful. The stressors on veins change throughout the day as well as with other factors. How long one spends standing or sitting, exercise, compression hose, elevating ones legs and many other factors can all affect how the legs feel. Patients often believe that because they feel better in the morning their problem is not bad enough to seek medical care. Like many other conditions, vein conditions can slowly and progressively worsen. The sooner a condition is treated the better the treatment outcome.

This allows existing veins to become more noticeable. Common and highly effective non-surgical treatments include sclerotherapy and dermal fillers.

Only a Specialized Vein Doctor can determine the best course of treatment for your hand veins.
