Treatment Options for Spider Veins
For many women, spider veins can become a embarrassing problem. These unsightly veins are often a results of extended periods of time spent on your feet. Pregnancy, a sedentary lifestyle, obesity, and some hereditary factors can all play a role in having spider veins.
The most common areas of the body affected by spider veins are the legs, knees, ankles, nose and cheeks. The term varicose veins is often used in conjunction with spider veins; however, these veins are usually much larger and found on the backs and side of your legs. Treatment for these large veins is often done by injecting the vein with substance that will cause the vein to collapse. Then it is absorbed into the body. A compression garment is usually ordered by the doctor to speed up healing and make it much more comfortable in the meantime.
A med spa can usually treat spider veins found on the face right at their location. A laser will break up the vessels of blood that create the vein. As your body absorbs these vessels, the veins will diminish. You may find that you need many treatments to have the veins gone completely.
A laser treatment for spider veins is really rather simple. The laser uses a special beam of light to work at destroying the blood vessels that will eventually be absorbed by the body. This procedure will normally take several treatments in order for you to see significant results.
This effective treatment can take care of up to twenty inches of veins in about fifteen minutes. Normally, there is no need for more treatments and seldom will the veins reappear. This procedure is fairly new yet and is more expensive than traditional laser treatments. However, the results are more than worth it.
Since there is no downtime to speak of, you can return to work the same day if you desire. If you have redness at the site where the treatment occurred, don’t worry, It usually only takes a day to go away.
If you are tired of living with spider veins, it’s time to do something about them. Don’t put up with spider veins. They are easily removed and you can see your own beautiful skin reappear in no time.
