Spider Veins

Why do you have Spider Veins?

Hereditary is the consensus of most doctors. The condition may be further enhanced with increased pressure on the legs, such as pregnancy, or long frequent periods of standing. Facial blood vessels are even more likely to be hereditary and are enhanced by Rosacea, sun exposure and alcohol intake.

Procedure:

Spider veins can be treated by sclerotherapy or laser light therapy, and is done in the doctor's rooms. Being a walk-in and walk-out procedure, it does not involve a visit to the hospital.

• The doctor uses a very fine needle to inject the veins with a special solution, which causes the wall of the blood vessels to close up, (sclerose) thus eliminating blood flow into the veins. A series of injections are performed according to the amount of visible veins. The solution is painless and does not sting.
• Each consultation is completed in usually 20 to 30 minutes.
• You may need to wear a compression pantyhose several days after the procedure to help prevent bruising. Some bruising will occur, but disappears leaving your legs without the unsightly looking veins.
• The IPL Photoderm treats the smaller spider veins with intense pulses of light that cause the veins to shrivel immediately.
