What Are Spider Veins?
Spider veins are tiny damaged blood vessels that can be seen under the surface of the skin. They have a blue, red, or purple color. They can appear as thin lines or form in clusters that may resemble a web. While spider veins can form in areas of the face, they most commonly form on the legs and feet.
While spider veins are not known to be painful or dangerous, their appearance can be quite noticeable and unsightly, which can make some feel self-conscious about their appearance. This is especially true when spider veins form on the face. Having noticeable spider veins can also prevent some from wearing certain clothing items that do not cover them up, like shorts or swimsuits.
What Causes Spider Veins to Form?
There are several factors that can cause spider veins to form. One of the most common causes is damaged veins. The veins are designed to bring blood back to the heart. In order to do this, the veins contain a valve that prevents the flow of blood from going backwards away from the heart.
If this valve is damaged, the vein cannot regulate the flow of blood. This can cause blood to pool in the vein, creating pressure and causing the vein to bulge and burst; this leads to the weblike appearance. Other factors that can lead to spider vein formation include:
- Trauma
- Obesity
- Fluctuating hormone levels
- Genetics
Treatments for Spider Veins
We offer a wide array of treatments for spider veins at Beach Aesthetics in El Segundo. Each option has specific benefits and may be better suited to handle a particular patient’s spider veins based on their unique needs. Our options for spider-vein treatment include:
Sclerotherapy – A quick, simple, and convenient option for getting rid of spider veins. The treatment involves injecting a special solution into the spider veins. The solution damages the targeted veins until they collapse, which prevents blood from pooling in them. Over time, the body slowly absorbs the vein, leaving no visible trace.
External Laser Therapy – An effective choice that is perfect for those who are afraid of needles or worried about allergic reactions from sclerotherapy. A special laser is used to target the spider veins beneath the surface of the skin. The heat generated from laser energy damages the spider veins until they eventually collapse and are absorbed by the body. [learn more]
VeinGogh – A minimally invasive treatment that uses a special handheld device to treat spider veins in the face and legs. The device contains a needle, also known as a probe, that is inserted into the spider vein. The probe sends out a bursts of high-frequency electrical energy that damages and weakens the structure of the vein. Once the vein has collapsed, it can be absorbed by the body.
