Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Is a smaller ultrasound used to be able to see tiny spider veins? What if the veins are on my cheeks, can I still have them use an ultrasound?

Ultrasound guided sclerofoam is a procedure done to eliminate the so called tributary branches and peforators. Occasionally is used to eliminate some of the superficial “large” varicosities. The equipment used is an ultrasound machine. These veins are for the most part located at least 0.5-1 cm below the skin level.

Spider veins are superficial and no ultrasound aid is needed. No ultrasound guided procedure is done for the facial spider veins.
