When To Consider Spider Vein Treatment

Spider veins are a common condition that affects the legs. The main symptom is small red or purple lines that seem to “spider” out from the skin surface. These are often found on the thigh and calf areas, but can also be found behind the knee or ankle. Although they often look like they are coming from the surface of the skin, spider veins are actually blood vessels that have become dilated.

Spider veins are very common among women who have had children and women who have taken birth control pills for many years. The hormones in these medications cause the blood vessels to swell up and expand over time, which leads to spider veins developing on the surface of the skin.

How Can Spider Veins Be Treated

Spider veins can be treated with laser therapy in Swansea, IL at Musick Dermatology & Advanced Clinical Spa. Laser therapy is effective because it seals off the affected area of the vein from flowing back into the body.

This helps to prevent future leaks from occurring in that area of the vein wall, which will eventually lead to scarring or closing off that blood vessel permanently due to sclerosis (thickening). Laser therapy works best when used with other treatments such as sclerotherapy or phlebectomy (surgical removal of spider veins).

Many times spider veins do not cause any problems at all, but if you suffer from pain or itching then it’s time for spider vein treatment at our Swansea dermatology clinic!
