Abella Heart offers more effective vascular care and spider veins treatments in Miami.
For a long time, varicose veins and spider veins have been viewed as strictly cosmetic issues. To get them removed meant a visit to a dermatologist or even a spa. It turns out that spider veins are often indicative of a deeper problem. A problem related to the vascular system, the heart and circulation. A problem that in the worst cases can lead to venous ulcers and amputations. Even today many health care providers do not recognize this fact.
If you are looking for comprehensive varicose veins treatment in Miami, Abella Heart is here to help.
Dr. Manuel E. Abella, one of the leading vein doctors in Florida, and his staff at Abella Veins are working hard to educate their patients and the public at large about the causes of varicose and spider veins and the available varicose and spider vein treatments. They serve the greater Miami area, including Kendall and Coral Gables.
Varicose veins and spider veins develop by the stretching and twisting of weak leg veins near the skin’s surface. Aside from varicose and spider veins, there are other clear indicators of venous insufficiencies. Many of these are also predictors of varicose and spider veins developing in the future.
What Are the Risk Factors for Developing Varicose and Spider Veins?
Several factors can raise your chances of developing varicose veins and spider veins. Age is a major player—over time, the valves in our veins can gradually lose strength, making these issues more common as we get older. But it’s not just the calendar working against us.
A sedentary lifestyle can also make things worse, since sitting or standing for long periods can hinder proper blood flow in your legs. Lack of movement means your blood pools more easily in the lower limbs, putting extra pressure on the vein walls.
Other risk factors include:
- Obesity, which increases pressure on the leg veins
- Family history—if your parents or siblings have them, your odds are higher
- Hormonal changes, such as those seen during pregnancy, menopause, or with certain contraceptives
- Jobs that require prolonged standing (think teachers, nurses, retail workers)
- A history of blood clots
The good news: regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and a well-balanced diet packed with fiber and nutrients can help lower your risk.
These symptoms are often vague, leading some patients to ignore them or deny they exist. It is important that these symptoms and the appearance of varicose veins and spider veins are taken seriously.
- Cramps and fatigue
- Leg heaviness
- Leg pain
- Redness on skin

There are multiple minimally-invasive treatment options for varicose veins and spider veins at our clinic. Some of the best treatment options are sclerotherapy, vein ablation and VenaSeal.
Sclerotherapy
In this procedure, a solution is injected directly into the vein, which causes the vein to scar, forcing blood to reroute to healthier veins. The scarred vein eventually collapses and is reabsorbed into local tissue. Sclerotherapy is considered by many to be the treatment of choice for varicose veins.
After treatment, unsightly veins generally begin to fade within a few weeks. It is a very effective treatment for getting rid of symptoms like aching, swelling and burning in the legs, due to damaged veins.
How Many Sclerotherapy Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sclerotherapy sessions needed can vary depending on the size and number of veins being treated. Most patients typically see best results after a series of 2 to 6 treatments, spaced several weeks apart. Larger or more stubborn veins may require additional visits to achieve the smooth, vein-free look you want.
During your consultation, Dr. Abella will assess your unique situation and recommend a tailored plan, so you know exactly what to expect on your journey to clearer, healthier legs.
Sclerotherapy is minimally invasive, and patients can expect to return to normal activities the same day.

Vein Ablation is Effective & Safe
One of the preferred treatments at Abella Veins is known as vein ablation. It uses radio frequency to completely remove varicose and spider veins. A catheter enters the vein thru a tiny cut in the skin and is pushed in to the end of the vein. As the catheter is pulled back out, a radio frequency is activated. This frequency causes the vein to collapse and eventually to be absorbed by the body. Vein ablation takes about an hour to complete and causes no scarring and little or no pain. Some patients experience an immediate relief of their symptoms. The treatment is available to any healthy patient experiencing venous insufficiency.
Learn About the Revolutionary New VenaSeal System For Varicose Veins
Traditional varicose vein treatment usually involves heat to seal veins, or surgical stripping of the damaged vein. VenaSeal approaches spider veins differently, using an advanced medical adhesive to close the problematic vein areas.
Dr. Abella spent years working as an interventional cardiologist in the vein center cath lab where patients with the most serious cardiac conditions are treated. There he developed a deeper understanding of the vascular system as well as the technical skills and finesse required to perform delicate procedures on veins. Today he is an expert in recognizing conditions that other doctors might overlook.
