What is assessed before deciding
Before deciding on a plan, the consultation reviews small superficial telangiectasias, their distribution, skin characteristics and whether vascular assessment is advisable before treatment. Tests are requested only when they can change the diagnosis, safety assessment or treatment decision.
What can realistically be achieved
The goal is to choose a proportionate plan for spider veins based on clinical findings and realistic expectations, rather than applying the same technique to every patient. The plan is finalized after matching that goal with the findings from the consultation.
