Spider veins (telangiectasias) are those tiny, unsightly blood vessels that seem to pop up as we age. The most common places to see them are on the legs and the face. Patients often ask about what causes these vessels to develop and whether they can be treated.
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that typically appear in the legs due to weakened or damaged valves that affect blood flow. They can cause discomfort, swelling and a heavy or aching feeling in the legs.
Lifestyle choices such as smoking, obesity and extended periods of sitting or standing decrease the circulation in your lower legs and increase your risk of developing spider and varicose veins. The biggest risk factor is genetics. If your mom, grandmother and sisters all have spider veins, it’s likely that you will also develop them.
If you already have spider veins, there are some simple things that you can do to improve them. Increasing the strength and muscle mass of your lower legs will improve the circulation by acting as a pump which pushes the blood back up your legs. You can also wear compression stockings to help with upward circulation. You can also treat spider veins with laser therapy at Imagen. Varicose veins generally require more invasive treatments for resolution.
At Imagen, we use a 1064 Nd:YAG laser to selectively target the hemoglobin within the blood vessels, decreasing the risk of damage to surrounding tissues. This allows treatment of smaller vessels in addition to the somewhat larger ones. Most patients need multiple treatments to get the results that they desire and you will likely need touch up treatments as new vessels form. As with any cosmetic procedure there are risks, the most common being bruising and some discomfort.
