What Are Spider Veins?

Spider veins are tiny, dilated blood vessels that appear near the surface of the skin. They often appear in a web-like pattern and are typically red, blue, or purple in color. These veins are most common in areas like the face, especially around the nose, and the legs. Spider veins can be caused by a variety of factors, such as:

• Genetics: Some people are simply more prone to developing spider veins due to their genetic makeup.
  Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, menopause, or the use of birth control pills can contribute to the development of spider veins.
• Sun Exposure: Prolonged sun exposure can weaken blood vessel walls and make spider veins more visible.
• Aging: As we age, the elasticity of our skin and veins decreases, making spider veins more likely.
• Standing or Sitting for Long Periods: Prolonged periods of inactivity can put pressure on your veins and lead to spider veins over time.

While spider veins are generally not a medical concern, they can be a cosmetic issue that affects your confidence. Fortunately, there are effective treatments available to eliminate these veins and restore a smooth, youthful appearance to your skin.

Laser Treatment for Spider Veins

At Solace Wellness Center & MedSpa, we offer advanced laser treatments to help eliminate spider veins with minimal discomfort and downtime. The Fotona TimeWalker Nd:YAG laser technology we use is specifically designed to target the red color in blood vessels, making it ideal for treating spider veins on the face and other areas.

How It Works

The laser energy targets the blood vessels causing the spider veins by emitting light that is absorbed by the blood in the veins. This light is converted into heat, which damages the vein walls and causes them to collapse. As a result, the vein is destroyed, and the body’s lymphatic system naturally clears away the tissue, just like it would with a bruise. This process is safe for surrounding tissues and won’t affect the healthy veins in the area.
