What We Treat

Reticular Veins

Reticular veins are those deeper, darker veins that form bluish networks that crisscross the thighs and lower legs. They are most often noted in the outer thighs, extending into the backs of the thighs and knees.

Reticular veins are larger than spider veins and are usually the source of spider veins. Removing reticular veins will help eliminate spider veins. Reticular veins are often accompanied by significant symptoms of local tenderness or burning and itching.
