Are visible veins making you feel self-conscious or uncomfortable? At Diamond Works Medspa, we offer non-surgical vein removal treatments for spider veins and smaller varicose veins in Astoria, Queens, NY, and surrounding areas.

Led by Carl Clarke, M.H.S., RPA-C, Diamond Works MedSpa provides precise, personalized care using the Diamond Touch Technique®. Whether your concerns are cosmetic or related to discomfort, our team can help you understand your options and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your treatment begins with a consultation. During this visit, we examine your veins, discuss your symptoms and goals, and determine whether sclerotherapy is the right option for you. We may also advise you to avoid lotions or oils before your appointment.
During the procedure, you will lie on your back while the treatment area is cleaned. A tiny needle is inserted into the targeted vein, and the sclerosing solution is injected. You may feel a small pinch, tingling, burning, or little sensation at all. After the injection, the area may be gently massaged to help prevent blood from flowing back into the treated vein.
After your appointment, you may need to wear compression stockings or a pad over the treated area. Mild tenderness, bruising, redness, or swelling can occur, but recovery is usually simple. Most patients can return to normal daily activities shortly after treatment, although strenuous exercise, hot baths, and sun exposure should be avoided for a few days. Mild bruising or swelling typically fades within a week or two.
Benefits of Early Vein Treatment
Treating visible veins early can help prevent worsening symptoms and may reduce the need for more involved treatment later. Addressing spider veins and smaller varicose veins before they progress can improve comfort, support healthier-looking skin, and reduce the risk of complications, including skin changes, ulcers, or blood clots, in more advanced cases.
Removing damaged veins also allows blood to flow through healthier veins, and many patients notice reduced heaviness, aching, or swelling after treatment. Early treatment can also help you feel more confident wearing shorts, skirts, swimwear, or clothing that shows your legs.
Candidates for Vein Removal
Vein removal may be right for adults in good overall health who have spider veins or smaller varicose veins. Good candidates may want treatment for cosmetic reasons, symptom relief, or both. Sclerotherapy may help people who experience visible veins, leg heaviness, aching, swelling, or discomfort after prolonged standing or sitting.
Is My Vein Issue Cosmetic or Medical?
If your veins cause pain, swelling, heaviness, burning, or daily discomfort, they may be more than a cosmetic concern. A consultation can help determine whether treatment is being recommended for appearance, symptom relief, or both.
Some patients may need a different approach, especially if they are pregnant, have recently had surgery, or have certain circulatory conditions. During your consultation, Dr. Clarke will review your health history and determine the safest treatment plan for your needs.
Possible Side Effects and Complications
Sclerotherapy is generally safe and well-tolerated. Common side effects may include temporary bruising, redness, swelling, tenderness, or small bumps near the injection site. Some patients may experience temporary skin discoloration, numbness, or inflammation if small vein segments remain in the skin.
Most side effects are mild and resolve on their own within a few days to a few weeks. Our team will review aftercare instructions with you so you know what to expect and how to support proper healing.
How Much Does Vein Removal Cost?
The cost of spider vein and varicose vein removal depends on the number of veins treated, the severity of your condition, and the number of sessions needed. During your consultation, we will explain your treatment plan and review expected costs.
In some cases, insurance may cover vein treatment if it is medically necessary and symptoms have not improved with lifestyle changes. Cosmetic vein treatment is often not covered by insurance.
