Dr. Spartz’s Vein Journal

If you’ve been thinking about getting rid of spider veins, winter is the perfect season to schedule treatment. While these small, web-like veins on the legs or ankles can be treated any time of year, colder months offer several advantages that make the process easier, more comfortable, and more effective.

At Spartz Vein Clinic near Minneapolis and St. Paul, Dr. Margaret Spartz combines her extensive knowledge and passion for venous health to help patients treat everything from minor spider veins to advanced venous disease. Her exceptional training in phlebology and dedication to patient care ensure that she performs every treatment with precision, compassion, and long-term results in mind.

Cooler Weather for a Comfortable Recovery

After treatments such as sclerotherapy or laser vein therapy, your provider will likely recommend wearing compression stockings to support circulation and promote healing. During winter, this is much more comfortable than in the summer heat. Pants and longer clothing also help conceal compression garments and any mild bruising while your legs heal, so you can feel confident and comfortable throughout recovery.

Sun Protection Is Easier in Winter

Sun exposure after spider vein treatment can lead to skin discoloration and interfere with healing. Fortunately, during winter, you naturally spend less time in direct sunlight and wear more clothing that covers your legs. This helps reduce pigmentation changes and ensures your skin heals evenly and beautifully.

Be Ready for Spring and Summer

One of the biggest benefits of treating spider veins in winter is timing. It can take several weeks for treated veins to fade completely, and sometimes multiple sessions are needed for optimal results. Starting now gives your legs plenty of time to heal so they’ll look clear, smooth, and confident by the time shorts and swimsuit season arrives.

A Great Time for Self-Care

The winter season often encourages reflection and renewal, making it the perfect opportunity to focus on self-care. Taking steps to improve your vein health now not only enhances your appearance but also supports better circulation and overall comfort in your legs.
