Spider vein doctor in Brooklyn

What Are Spider Veins?
Spider veins are small clusters of discolored reticular veins which appear reddish, bluish or purplish and are visible through the skin. The twisted veins have a spider’s web or tree branch appearance and mostly affect your legs and face. While spider veins don’t hurt, the twisted appearance may affect your self-image and make you self-conscious.

These disfigured veins are believed to result from malfunctioning valves in feeder veins, resulting in a backward flow of blood. The backed-up blood causes these non-functional veins that appear through your skin. Spider vein treatment requires the best spider vein doctor.

Dr. Sergei Sobolevsky, an endovascular specialist at the Downtown Vein & Vascular Center in Brooklyn, has more than 24 years’ experience treating vein conditions including spider veins.

What Causes Spider Veins?
Various factors contribute to the development of spider veins.

Doctors have identified risk factors for the venous condition including:

Obesity or being overweight. Being overweight or experiencing weight fluctuation exerts excessive pressure on veins leading to damaged valves.
Advancing age. With age, you experience greater wear and tear on vein valves, resulting in poor blood flow and pooling in feeder veins.
The risk of spider veins is higher if you come from a family with a history of the vein condition.
Specific types of jobs. Working in jobs that require long hours of standing or sitting.
Hormonal changes. Hormonal influences in women during pregnancy and menopause.
Birth control drugs. Use of birth control pills, which may affect hormonal levels.
Hormone-based treatments. Hormone replacement after menopause may lead to a high risk of spider veins.
Smoking cigarettes. Long-term use of tobacco increases the risk of vascular conditions.
Local trauma. Injury to your body may lead to the development of spider veins.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE). A personal history of VTE.
