Cosmetic Spider Vein Treatment
Cosmetic Spider Vein Treatment is the process of removing the small clusters of blue, red, and purple veins that can appear on the thighs, calves, and ankles. A common treatment is sclerotherapy, which is done by harmlessly injecting a solution into the infected veins that fades over time. Other options include laser therapy, intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy, and microphlebectomy.
What causes Spider Veins?
It’s important to note that spider veins are considered natural and not life-threatening. There are several reasons why spider veins may develop in the legs:
- Family history
- Hormonal shifts
- Occupations or activities that require prolonged sitting or standing
- Pregnancy
- Weight fluctuation
Does insurance cover Cosmetic Spider Vein Treatment?
Generally, insurance companies will not cover Cosmetic Spider Vein Treatment as it is considered a cosmetic treatment. However, if the veins are causing pain, swelling, or other medical issues, some insurance plans may cover the treatment. It’s best to talk to your insurance provider or Revere Health’s billing team before treatment.
