Many patients ask whether their varicose and spider veins can come back after treatment, and while this is highly unlikely, it does sometimes happen. As the return of your veins after being treated is unlikely this is not a reason to not treat or delay the treatment of your varicose and spider veins.
Factors that may influence whether your varicose or spider veins return after treatment are:
Spider veins are thin, small blood vessels that can appear on the skin. They tend to be red, purple, or blue in color. People with spider veins do not typically experience any other symptoms aside from their appearance on the skin.

The treatment performed
Varicose and spider veins tend to develop due to hereditary reasons however they may also arise due to external factors and lifestyle choices such as physical activity, prolonged periods of inactivity, eating patterns, and obesity. For this reason, it is crucial to maintain a healthy lifestyle after treatment. Making intelligent choices regarding physical activity and ensuring to stay active and eat nutritious foods can benefit your venous health and prevent the return of varicose and spider veins. Considering many jobs require long periods of sitting or standing, it is important to incorporate small bursts of exercise into your day. Easy ways to get active during your day are by taking the stairs instead of the elevator, choosing to walk to work or school, and going for walks or workouts during any breaks. Making health-conscious decisions regarding your nutrition can also aid to make sure your varicose and spider veins stay gone for good! Choosing organic foods and avoiding sugary sweets, fried foods, and alcohol can make a difference in your venous health, check out our blog on “foods to avoid for venous health” here. All in all lifestyle choices can severely affect your treatment results, however, genetic predisposition may also occasionally lead to the return of varicose or spider veins post-treatment.
