Spider veins are more common than most people realize, and if you have been noticing small clusters of red, blue, or purple facial or leg veins, you are not alone. While they are usually harmless, developing spider veins can affect how you feel about your appearance and your confidence in everyday life.
At Miller Vein, we believe you should not have to just live with them. Our VeinErase® by Miller Vein method offers simple, comfortable, and effective spider vein treatment at clinics across Michigan, including Auburn Hills, Dearborn, Grand Rapids, Holland, Macomb, Novi, St. Clair Shores, and Troy.
Before choosing a treatment, it helps to learn more about spider veins and how it progresses.
What Are Spider Veins?
Spider veins are visible tiny blood vessels (different from varicose veins) that sit just beneath the skin’s surface. They typically form web-like or branching patterns and measure 1mm or less in diameter, but larger spider veins are possible, too. They can appear in shades of red, blue, or purple and show up most often on the legs, though they are also common on the face.
These veins develop when small blood vessels weaken or dilate due to increased pressure. Several factors can contribute to their formation, including genetics, hormonal changes, prolonged standing or sitting, sun exposure, and age. Pregnancy is another common trigger, as rising blood volume and hormonal shifts put extra pressure on the veins throughout the body.
Spider veins are generally harmless, but they can cause physical discomfort for some people and may sometimes point to a deeper vein condition that deserves attention.
Spider Vein Symptoms
For many people, spider veins are purely a cosmetic concern with no physical symptoms at all. For others, they can cause:
Some patients are better suited to sclerotherapy treatment — your evaluation will tell us which.
- Itching or a burning sensation around the affected veins
- Mild swelling in the legs or ankles
- Aching or a sense of heaviness after prolonged standing or sitting
It is also worth knowing that spider veins can sometimes be an outward sign of an underlying condition, such as venous reflux disease (VRD) or chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). These conditions occur when the valves inside the veins stop functioning properly, causing blood to pool instead of flowing efficiently back toward the heart.
Before your visit, take a look at financing through CareCredit to see how coverage works.
If you are experiencing leg pain, throbbing, heaviness, skin changes, or wounds that are slow to heal alongside your spider veins, a thorough vein evaluation is especially important. At Miller Vein, we screen for underlying vein conditions (including blood clots) at every visit to make sure your care plan addresses both the visible veins and any root causes.

Great visit to Miller Vein on 3/11. Very thorough explanation and the most wonderful tech in the world did my scans. She answered all my questions and concerns. Results of scans were provided in minutes. Would definitely return if I had a need and will refer my friends if they have a need.

VeinErase®: Michigan’s Signature Spider Vein Treatment
VeinErase® is Miller Vein’s proprietary approach to spider vein treatment, built around three core priorities: effectiveness, comfort, and personalized care.
Every VeinErase® experience begins with a one-on-one evaluation with one of our specialists. During this visit, we assess the size, distribution, and nature of your spider veins, screen for any underlying vein conditions, and develop an individualized treatment plan. You will receive a realistic estimate of how many sessions you may need and a clear picture of what to expect throughout the process.
What Makes the VeinErase® Method Different?
At Miller Vein, we treat both legs in a single appointment using the maximum safe dose of FDA-approved medication. That approach means fewer visits and more efficient progress toward your goals.
We also incorporate cool air and gentle vibrations during treatment to help keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. Most appointments take less than 45 minutes, and there is no required downtime, so you can walk out and carry on with your day.
We take before-and-after photos at every session so you can see your progress clearly over time. And if your spider veins are connected to an underlying vein condition, our team will refer you to one of our board-certified vein physicians to ensure the root cause is addressed, not just the surface-level symptoms.

How Much Improvement Can You Expect?
We aim for 70 to 80% clearance or lightening of treated spider veins. It is important to set honest expectations here: no spider vein treatment, anywhere, eliminates veins completely. If another provider promises 100% clearance, we recommend seeking a second opinion before moving forward.
Most patients also see their best results after a series of treatments rather than a single session. Because everyone’s veins are different, the right number of visits varies from person to person, which is why we offer our VeinErase® Package to help you get the most value from your treatment.

Specialists Who Focus Exclusively on Spider Veins
Our VeinErase® providers are not generalists fitting vein care into a busy schedule. They focus exclusively on treating spider veins, doing this work every single day. That level of specialization and repetition directly translates into sharper skills, better technique, and more consistent results for our patients.
Compassionate, Patient-Centered Care
We hear it from patients again and again: they are surprised by how welcome and cared for they feel at Miller Vein. Our team takes the time to listen, answer questions honestly, and make sure every patient feels comfortable and informed from the first appointment to the last.
Safety is Priority at Every Visit
We screen for underlying vein conditions at every appointment. Treating spider veins without identifying a deeper issue can lead to disappointing or short-lived results. Our approach ensures your treatment is not only effective but safe.
Honest Expectations
We will never promise you something we cannot deliver. What we commit to is honest guidance, realistic goals, and our genuine best effort to help you achieve meaningful, visible improvement.
