Visible veins on the body can impede confidence. Visible spider and thread veins can often be found on the legs. Depending on their size, veins can be treated with laser vein removal.
Our doctors and therapists remove unwanted facial and leg veins using laser treatments or sclerotherapy, depending on the undesired veins.
Visible spider veins on the legs occur when the valves inside the veins stop working. Veins have the function of carrying blood to the heart. In order to stop the blood from going backwards, away from the heart, the veins contain a valve that closes after the blood goes through. If this valve is damaged or weakened, the blood may have difficulty flowing correctly. As a result, blood pools inside the vein which then results in visually apparent spider veins.
Smaller spider or thread veins are targeted with laser treatment to effectively damage unwanted veins using brief pulses of laser light. These pulses of light rapidly heat the veins to cause them to collapse to be gradually destroyed by your body.
Spider veins are also referred to as thread veins or dermal flares and can be triggered by hormonal changes which can occur during pregnancy and menopause. Some veins are caused by genetics. Sun damage which weakens the skin by UV’s damage to existing collagen can also contribute to the appearance of thread veins.
For even finer veins, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment targets visible blood vessels, redness and rosacea.
Laser energy penetrates the skin to stimulate the production of collagen to naturally repair and rejuvenate the skin.
