Spider Veins  

Dr. Pulapaka first began treating spider veins in Tallahassee, Florida while working with a plastic surgeon from 1992-1995.  Her interest in spider vein treatment carried over as she completed her advance surgical training for the lower extremity.

Although most podiatrists can perform surgery on common foot conditions, here at DeLand Foot and Leg Center, we also pay special attention to the cosmetic appearance following our procedures. Our patients not only enjoy relief from painful conditions but are thrilled at the cosmetic result achieved by our experienced cosmetic foot surgeons.

Arteries bring blood from the heart to the extremities, veins, which have one-way valves, channel blood back to the heart. If the valves don't function well, blood doesn't flow efficiently. The veins become enlarged because they are congested with blood. These enlarged veins are commonly called spider veins or varicose veins. Spider veins are small red, blue or purple veins on the surface of the skin. Varicose veins are larger distended veins that are located somewhat deeper than spider veins.

There are two general treatment options: conservative measures, such as compression stockings, and "corrective" methods such as sclerotherapy.

A tiny needle is used to inject the veins with a medication that irritates the lining of the vein. In response, the veins collapse and are reabsorbed. The surface veins are no longer visible.
