How It Works
Spider vein removal treatments target the appearance of small, visible blood vessels near the surface of the skin, commonly known as spider veins or telangiectasia. These treatments utilize techniques such as laser therapy, sclerotherapy, or intense pulsed light (IPL) to selectively damage and collapse the affected blood vessels, gradually fading their appearance.
What It Treats
Spider vein removal treatments are specifically designed to address spider veins or small dilated blood vessels that commonly appear on the legs, face, or other areas of the body.
Benefits
These treatments effectively target and reduce the appearance of spider veins, improving the overall appearance of the skin.
The Cause of Spider Veins
Spider veins are caused by a backup of blood that can result from hormone changes, exposure to the sun, or an injury. They are often found in the legs because of the intense pressure on the veins to carry blood back up to the heart. Other factors such as age, heredity, and hormonal changes such as pregnancy can also increase your risk of having spider veins, so it is important to take preventative measure
Preventing Spider Veins
- Wearing sunscreen regularly
- Exercising consistently and maintaining a healthy weight, which can help reduce pressure put on the veins in your legs
- Taking breaks from either sitting or standing for long periods
- Limiting the amount of time you wear high heels, or shoes with steep inclines
Spider Vein Symptoms
Aside from their discolored nature, spider veins on legs may also cause symptoms including aching, burning sensations, or itchiness. Though generally considered harmless, spider vein symptoms may cause discomfort, especially after an extended period of standing. Many people find that the cosmetic impact of spider veins causes feelings of self-consciousness, promoting changes in lifestyle and clothing choice. Prompt treatment at the sight of spider veins can help improve appearance and ensure that symptoms do not worsen over time.
Treatment
Sclerotherapy is the most common form of treatment for spider veins, and has been widely used for decades. The process involves the injection of a solution that will cause the lining of the blood vessel to collapse and stick together. The blood then begins to clot, and the vessel turns to scar tissue over time, allowing the vein to be removed from your sight.
