Erase Spider Veins with Precision Care
Spider Veins
Causes of Spider Veins
Our veins have a responsibility to direct blood back to the heart, which is particularly impressive due to the fact that the veins work against gravity to supply the heart with the blood it needs. But when a vein is damaged, the blood that is supposed to travel to the heart can begin to collect in the vein, creating the swollen, bulging and twisting characteristics so often associated with spider veins. Although initially harmless, spider veins can become painful and potentially life-threatening if blood is left to accumulate. The best way to ensure the health of your veins and your blood circulation is to have your veins examined by a dermatologist or vascular specialist.
A vein can become damaged for many reasons, often having to do with certain lifestyle choices. Constant standing, continuous sitting, obesity, hormonal changes and heredity can all be attributed to spider veins. Although certain lifestyle changes can prevent vein conditions from arising in the future, those changes will not eliminate the affected veins already in your body. The only way to eliminate your current spider veins is to receive treatment with a specialist.

Which Vein Treatment is Right for You?
Determining the proper treatment method will rely on a physical examination performed by a physician at Lasederm Dermatology & Cosmetic Laser Surgery. We can assess the spider veins present on your skin and choose a treatment option based on the severity of your condition, the type of veins present and their location. Oftentimes, a combination of sclerotherapy and laser treatment will be used for the most effective results, and multiple treatment sessions may be necessary to eliminate veins completely.
It’s important to note that while each treatment method may work to diminish unappealing veins, it will not prevent veins from surfacing in the future. To ensure the beauty of your skin and your vascular health, our physicians may recommend certain lifestyle changes that will keep vein conditions at bay. A change in diet or exercise routine, for instance, will improve your body’s blood circulation and strengthen your veins. If you would like more information about spider veins or to find out which one of our treatment options is right for you, please contact Laserderm Dermatology & Cosmetic Laser Surgery and schedule a consultation.
