Dermatologist Dr. Heidi Waldorf discusses if varicose and spider veins can return, even after treatment. Watch Dr. Waldorf's video for tips and information on skin health.
Unfortunately, spider veins frequently return. It isn't the exact same vessel that we've removed. That vein is gone for good but if you predisposed or prone to these because of hereditary factors or additional pregnancy then you are likely to get others in the same area. I have lots of who after clearing their legs will come back every few years for another scar-therapy treatment just to touch it up and keeps their legs, feeling clear if you have varicose veins and have veins striping, those veins are gone for good.
But that generally means that you've had more severe vascular disease, s you make they need to have other procedures in the future.
