What Causes Spider Veins?
Spider veins are injured vessels that sit just under the skin and aren’t actually veins at all but capillaries, venules, and arterioles; these are small vessels. Though typically harmless, people tend to be displeased with their appearance which can range in colors from red to purple. They are usually found in the legs or face, but they can develop anywhere. Spider veins are commonly caused by hormonal changes, genetic issues, injury, or connective tissue diseases. They can be influenced by lifestyles that employ or have:
- Standing Or Sitting For Extended Time Periods
- Are Obese
- Are Experiencing Hormonal Changes, For Example, Due To Pregnancy, Birth Control, Or Hormone Therapy
- Smoking
- Exposure To Sun
- Have Family Predisposition To Spider Veins
If any of these are part of your current lifestyle, and if you can, consider addressing these situations to improve your spider veins. However, even if you do, say quit smoking or lose weight, this may not remove the spider veins you have. It’s important to remember spider veins do not go away on their own.
Do Laser Treatments At AesthetiSpa Work For Unwanted Veins?
Yes! Depending on the severity of your veins and the number of treatments you may need, you could see immediate improvements after your very first session! The lasers work by encouraging coagulation in the vessels that allow the body to simply absorb the unwanted veins the same way it would a bruise. And because of the cooling tip with the way the AesthetiSpa team applies the laser treatment, most people don’t experience any pain or discomfort during the treatment!
