Spider Vein Treatment in Manhattan
If you are looking for spider vein treatment in Manhattan, Dr. David Fox offers advanced minimally invasive solutions designed to reduce visible veins safely and effectively. Using modern laser and sclerotherapy techniques, treatments are tailored to your vein pattern, skin type, and cosmetic goals.
Spider veins are small visible blood vessels that commonly appear on the legs and face. While many patients seek treatment for cosmetic reasons, some spider veins may also be associated with underlying venous insufficiency or circulation issues that benefit from vascular evaluation.
Patients from throughout Manhattan seek treatment for spider veins caused by genetics, prolonged standing, pregnancy, and age-related vein changes.

Combined Laser and Sclerotherapy Treatment for Spider Veins
Dr. Fox combines surface laser treatment with sclerotherapy to address both visible spider veins and the associated feeder veins beneath the skin. This combined approach may improve treatment precision and reduce the likelihood of persistent or recurrent visible veins.
- 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.
