Spider Vein Treatment in Manhattan
If you are looking for spider vein treatment in Manhattan to safely and effectively eliminate visible leg veins or veins throughout the body, Dr. David Fox offers advanced, minimally invasive solutions designed for optimal results. As a trusted vein specialist in Manhattan, Dr. Fox treats spider veins using proven techniques that improve both appearance and vein health.
Spider veins are small, damaged blood vessels that appear near the surface of the skin, most commonly on the legs. While often considered cosmetic, spider veins may indicate underlying vein issues and can worsen over time without treatment.

Advanced Spider Vein Treatment Using the Double Injury Method
Dr. Fox utilizes the Double Injury Method, an advanced approach that combines laser spider vein treatment with sclerotherapy to deliver faster, more effective results than sclerotherapy alone.
- A specialized D940 surface laser is applied to the spider veins on the leg, gently damaging the targeted vein.
- A small amount of sclerosing solution is then injected into the associated reticular (feeder) vein.
- The treated veins gradually close and are naturally reabsorbed by the body, similar to the healing of a bruise.
This combined approach allows for precise treatment while minimizing the amount of sclerosing agent needed.
Benefits of Laser Spider Vein Treatment with Sclerotherapy

By targeting both the visible spider veins and the underlying feeder veins, this method improves long-term outcomes.
