Spider veins are visible blood vessels (red, purple, and blue) present on one’s face and/or legs. These veins are smaller than varicose veins.
8 Causes of Spider Veins
Patients with spider veins should seek an immediate consultation at our clinic. Each case is unique and requires customized treatment using state-of-the-art equipment.
The causes may vary depending on the patient’s medical history, skin condition, and age.
Causes include:
- Genetic Predisposition
- Obesity
- Standing Jobs (Nurses/Factory Workers)
- Hormonal Changes (Birth Control Pills, Pregnancy)
- Blood Clots
- Tumors or Constipation
- Continuous Trauma
- Exposure To UV Rays
To target spider veins, the specialist will use laser of high-powered wavelengths to get under the first layer of skin. This will target the underlying layer and help promote collagen building. By doing this, the blood vessels are stimulated and start to dissipate over time.
Once the session is complete, a specialist will examine the skin to see how it has handled targeted energy. If successful, the patient is provided with a detailed recovery plan and can go about their daily routine as planned. If necessary, the specialist will offer a gentle painkiller to alleviate any temporary side effect. These side effects go away within a few hours.
