For women who like to take in the sun, spider veins can be embarrassing. Their appearance can worsen with sun exposure and since they can appear anywhere on the body, including the face, it can be difficult to completely hide their appearance. Fortunately, there are treatments to help diminish their appearance in just a few sessions.
Spider Vein Treatments
Spider veins appear as small red and blue veins on the surface of the skin, most often on the legs or the face. They are a type of varicose vein and are caused by increased pressure on the main blood vessels, but they may be inherited or the result of getting older. With Spider Vein Removal in Schaumburg IL these small veins can be removed.
Laser Treatment
One of the least invasive vein treatments is the use of laser light to help reduce the appearance of spider veins. The laser can be used anywhere on the body where there are spider veins, including the face. This treatment uses the heat emanating from a laser light to coagulate the blood in the vein to seal it. After a few treatments, the vein’s appearance will fade from the surface of the skin.
Sclerotherapy
Another treatment used to diminish the appearance of minor veins from the skin’s surface is sclerotherapy. This involves injecting medications into the veins to help erase their appearance and it is often combined with other vein treatments to increase its effectiveness.
