RETICULAR
VEINS

What are Reticular Veins?

Reticular veins, also known as feeder veins, are the dilated blue and green veins beneath the skin surface. They are generally hereditary. Reticular veins can exist independently but can also be the underlying problem that gives rise to surface spider veins. These veins are also considered a cosmetic problem since they do not lead to substantial medical symptoms or complications.

Risk Factors:

  • Genetics
  • Age
  • Pregnancy
  • Birth Control

Why Choose Miami Vein Center for Reticular Vein Treatment?

There are several locations in Southern Florida to have your spider veins removed, but only Miami Vein Center specializes primarily in vascular diseases and treatment. Doctor Almeida will take the time to assess your individual condition and properly diagnose your vascular condition.

While spider veins can be caused by a variety of factors such as genetics, lifestyle, careers that involve prolonged periods of standing or sitting and certain clotting conditions, identifying the presence of venous reflux disease or other serious vascular conditions coupled with expert treatment can help prevent these vessels from redeveloping over time.

During your consultation, Dr. Almeida will discuss your health and medical history with you to determine which course of treatment is best as well as any potential risks or side effects that could apply to you. Your treatment plan will be created using the least invasive methods and the latest technology, and all vascular treatments are done in-house at Miami Vein Center.
