By restoring smoother skin tone and improving circulation, we help you feel confident showing off your legs, hands, or face—no surgery, no downtime.
What Causes Spider Veins?
Spider veins occur when blood pools in small, superficial veins due to weakened or damaged valves. This buildup of pressure causes the veins to dilate and become visible beneath the skin—often appearing as red, blue, or purple web-like patterns. They’re most common in the legs due to gravity and prolonged standing or sitting, but can also appear on the face and other areas.
Common Factors That Contribute to Spider Veins:
Prolonged sitting or standing (especially for work)
Heredity and family history of vein issues
Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause, or birth control)
Excess body weight
Sun exposure, particularly for facial spider veins
In most cases, a physical exam and visual inspection are enough for diagnosis. If deeper venous issues are suspected, Dr. Robert Berberian may recommend a diagnostic ultrasound for a more comprehensive evaluation.
If spider veins are keeping you from feeling confident in your skin, you’re not alone. At Vanity Medical Spa in Paramus, NJ, Dr. Berberian offers advanced, non-surgical solutions to help you treat and prevent unwanted veins—so you can show off your skin with confidence.
Sclerotherapy: Treatment for Varicose and Spider Veins
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment used to safely and effectively eliminate spider veins and smaller varicose veins. The procedure involves injecting a medical solution directly into the affected vein, causing it to collapse and gradually fade from view.
No anesthesia is required, and the treatment is performed comfortably in-office. Once the targeted vein is closed, blood is naturally rerouted through healthier surrounding veins—leaving your circulation unaffected and your skin visibly clearer.

FAQs About Spider Vein Treatment
Sclerotherapy involves injecting a special solution directly into the affected vein. This causes the vein to collapse and seal shut, allowing the body to naturally reabsorb it over time. Blood flow is safely rerouted through healthier nearby veins.
Sclerotherapy is generally well-tolerated and minimally painful. The injections are performed with a very fine needle, and most patients describe the sensation as a brief pinprick or mild stinging. While veins themselves don’t have nerve endings, surrounding tissues may register a slight discomfort from the sclerosing solution. Any sensation is temporary and typically fades quickly. At Vanity Medical Spa, treatments are performed by Dr. Robert Berberian, MD, who uses advanced techniques to ensure your comfort every step of the way.
You can resume most normal activities right away, including walking (which is encouraged). However, avoid vigorous exercise for the first 24 hours. Mild bruising or redness may appear but usually fades within a week.
Yes, you may be advised to wear compression stockings for a few days after treatment. This helps reduce bruising, promotes vein closure, and improves overall results.
Many patients see noticeable improvement after just one session, but 2–4 treatments may be recommended depending on the number and size of veins being treated.
Initial fading can be seen within 3–6 weeks for smaller veins, with full results appearing over a few months. Larger veins may take a little longer.
Treated veins are permanently closed and absorbed by the body. However, new spider veins may develop over time. Maintenance treatments can help keep your legs looking their best.
Not at all. The veins treated with Sclerotherapy are superficial and not essential for circulation. Blood simply reroutes through healthier veins nearby.
