Will my spider veins come back?

Spider veins can reappear over time, particularly if you have underlying venous insufficiency or a family history of vein issues. While treatments target existing veins, new ones may form naturally from age, hormonal changes, or lifestyle factors. Many patients schedule maintenance treatments—typically once or twice a year—to keep their legs smooth and vein-free.

When will I see results?

You may notice subtle improvement within a few weeks as treated veins collapse and fade. Full results usually appear within 4 to 6 weeks, sometimes slightly longer for deeper or more stubborn veins. Your provider monitors your progress during follow-up visits to ensure the best outcome.

Are the results permanent?

Treated veins are permanently removed and generally do not return. However, new spider veins can develop over time due to genetics, sun exposure, or increased pressure in the legs. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, wearing compression garments as advised, and attending occasional maintenance sessions can help preserve your results.

Is there any special aftercare I need to plan for?

After your spider vein treatment in Rosemont, your provider recommends a few simple steps to help your skin heal and support results. Wearing compression stockings for several days helps promote healthy blood flow and reduce swelling. You should also avoid hot baths, saunas, or strenuous exercise for the first few days, as these can increase circulation in the treated area. Mild redness, swelling, or bruising is common and should fade within a week. It’s also important to keep the area protected from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration. Your provider gives you tailored aftercare instructions based on your specific treatment and skin type.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments varies from person to person, depending on the number, size, and depth of the veins being treated. Many patients see noticeable improvement after just 1 spider vein treatment in Rosemont, while others may need 2 or 3 treatments for the best outcome. For larger or more stubborn veins, a series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart helps your skin heal as your body naturally absorbs the treated veins. During your consultation, your provider develops a personalized plan and schedule that fits your goals and lifestyle.
