Spider Vein Treatment
Do you have spider veins – blue, purple or red thread-like lines under your skin? Associated with increased pressure to your veins and abnormal blood flow, nearly 75 percent of adult women are plagued by them. Spider veins are caused by aging, genetics, hormones (pregnancy, childbirth, birth control pills, and estrogen replacement therapy), rosacea and sun damage. If you’d like to see them disappear and have clear skin, vein treatment is for you.
Through laser treatment, Sclerotherapy (a procedure where saline solution is injected into the vein to irritate the lining and cause the vein to collapse and disappear) or a combination of both, those unsightly lines can be removed. Spider veins that lie deeper under the skin are often treated with IPL (intense pulsed light). Similar to laser therapy, IPL is a newer technique that uses light energy to destroy the vein without damaging surrounding tissue.
