Spider Veins | Market Street Dermatology

Be more comfortable in your skin

Spider veins are purple to red, dilated blood vessels typically on the lower extremities. A common condition, they most often occur from an increase in pressure in the veins. This causes the vessel to dilate and can contribute to a proliferation of new vessels. In some cases, there is a deeper network of varicose veins that are contributing to the increase in spider veins. They can cause pain and discomfort, and their appearance can be bothersome for many.

Wearing compression stockings can help reduce the incidence of spider veins and improve circulation. For cosmetic improvement of spider veins, we will first evaluate your vessels to help determine if further evaluation of blood flow is necessary or if a deeper vascular system needs treatment. Cosmetic treatment options include sclerotherapy and laser treatments. We can help determine which treatments are best for you.

“Hands down the BEST dermatology clinic in the metro area (I’d even say in all of Minnesota)! I have been struggling for years with psoriasis and have tried every treatment in the book. After seeing dermatologists across the state with no luck, I found this place. Today, my skin is completely cleared and I have never felt better. The doctor and staff are super personable and friendly, even taking time to learn your name. They did not give up until we found what works specifically for me. I am so thankful for all they have done for me. Because of Market Street Dermatology, I am finally comfortable in my own skin (literally).”

“I’ve probably worked with five or six dermatologists in my lifetime dealing with various issues, but mainly skin damage from sun exposure and skin cancer. I chose Market Street because they were great listeners who take the time to analyze the issue to figure out the best treatment plan. I’ve been going here for at least 10 years, and would never consider seeing another dermatologist. It’s very obvious how dedicated they are to their profession and patients. I even convinced my wife to switch over years ago, and she liked her dermatologist but now is totally hooked on Market Street! Also, the staff is super friendly and very professional. Honestly, I can’t recommend Market Street Dermatology enough!”

“I have been going to Market Street Dermatology every since Dr. Scheurer and Dr. Kauls started their clinic. I have a propensity to develop skin cancers and need to be seen on a regular basis. I have never had trouble getting an appointment if there is some urgency to been seen. I have had numerous procedures at the clinic all professional and skillfully done. It is so nice to walk into the clinic and have the staff call you be your first name. The clinic is staffed with an awesome team. They all make you feel special I am a very lucky person to have found such a dedicated group that makes me feel like more than just a patient.”
