Spider Vein Treatment in Meridian, ID
Spider veins may be harmless, but they can still affect how comfortable you feel in your own skin, and how confident you feel wearing what you love. As they become more noticeable on the legs or other areas, it’s common to feel self-conscious or frustrated—especially when you’re walking around the Boise River Greenbelt or simply enjoying life in the Treasure Valley. At Aviva Wellness & Aesthetics, we offer a safe, medically guided approach to spider vein treatment that focuses on restoring clarity, comfort, and confidence without unnecessary downtime.
Many clients come to us after trying to hide their spider veins for years, assuming they’re just something they need to live with. Our goal is to make treatment accessible, effective, and grounded in both clinical experience and genuine care for your quality of life. As a physician-led medical spa in Meridian, our approach to spider vein treatment is focused on safety, precision, and results that look natural.
What Are Spider Veins?
Spider veins, technically called telangiectasias, are small, dilated blood vessels that appear red, blue, or purple just beneath the skin’s surface. They often look like fine lines or branching webs. While they most commonly appear on the legs, they can develop almost anywhere. Many clients are surprised by how common spider veins are and how treatable they can be.
Although spider veins are usually a cosmetic concern, some people experience mild symptoms like itching, aching, or heaviness. Factors that contribute to their development may include:
- Genetics
- Pregnancy or hormonal shifts
- Extended periods of sitting or standing
- Weight fluctuations
- Sun exposure
- Aging
While they occur more often in women, men certainly experience them as well. Regardless of the cause, treatment can significantly reduce or eliminate their appearance.
How to Know if Spider Vein Treatment Is Right for You
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Notice visible red, purple, or blue veins
- Feel self-conscious about your legs or other areas
- Experience mild discomfort or irritation
- Have veins that seem to be spreading or intensifying
- Want smoother, more even-looking skin with minimal downtime
At Aviva Wellness & Aesthetics, we begin with a clear evaluation and discuss whether sclerotherapy is the best match for your goals. Whether your concerns are mild or more extensive, we work with you to create a plan that feels appropriate and effective.
Our Spider Vein Treatment Method
We specialize in injectable spider vein treatment using a glycerin and lidocaine solution. This method, known as sclerotherapy, has been one of the most trusted treatments for spider veins for decades due to its effectiveness and minimal recovery time. It remains the gold standard for treating spider veins when performed by a trained medical provider.
How Sclerotherapy Works
During treatment, a very small amount of the solution is injected directly into the affected vein. This causes the vein walls to collapse, seal shut, and gradually fade as the body naturally absorbs the vessel.
Benefits of sclerotherapy include:
- Quick treatment sessions
- Little to no downtime
- Minimal discomfort
- Effective results for small veins
- High client satisfaction
Many clients begin noticing improvement within a few weeks, with continued fading over several months.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your comfort is a key part of the process. Here’s what you can expect:
Consultation
We examine the treatment areas, discuss your goals, and explain what results you can realistically expect.
During the Procedure
The treatment is brief and minimally invasive. A fine needle delivers the glycerin with lidocaine solution into targeted veins. Most clients find the injections very tolerable thanks to the built-in numbing.
After Treatment
You might notice slight redness or mild irritation that fades quickly. You can return to regular activities the same day, although we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for a short time. Compression garments may be suggested depending on the area treated. Mild bruising can occur, but typically resolves on its own.
Results
Treated veins fade gradually as the body absorbs them. Some clients need only one session; others benefit from multiple treatments for more widespread veins.
