SPIDER VEINS
How Do Spider Veins Work?
Minimally invasive methods to restore even-toned, smooth skin and remove unsightly veins
Spider veins, often referred to as telangiectasias, are tiny, conspicuous veins that show up just below the epidermis. They frequently appear on the legs, thighs, ankles, and occasionally the face and resemble web-like lines that are red, blue, or purple. Although generally benign, they may become a cosmetic concern or indicate underlying circulation problems. At Rasa Derm, we provide cutting-edge, safe procedures that successfully minimize or completely eradicate spider veins, leaving your skin looking brighter and younger.
Spider veins develop when capillaries, which are tiny, superficial blood vessels, swell, weaken, or sustain damage. Numerous circumstances might cause these small veins to appear closer to the skin’s surface, including:
Genetics
Even at a young age, spider veins are more likely to develop if they run in your family. Vein elasticity and structure are influenced by your genetic makeup.
Jobs including desk work, teaching, or nursing can cause abnormal blood flow and raise vein pressure in the legs, which might eventually result in spider veins.
By relaxing blood vessel walls, changes in estrogen and progesterone during adolescence, pregnancy, oral contraceptive usage, or menopause render women more vulnerable.
Sun Exposure
Prolonged exposure to UV light can harm the skin and the tissues that support it, causing collagen to break down and face capillaries to dilate or burst.
Age
As we age, our skin and veins gradually lose their elasticity and strength, which leaves them more vulnerable to damage and dilatation.
Trauma or Injury
If your veins are already weak, even a small bump or pressure on the skin might cause capillaries to burst.
Smoking
Smoking, obesity, and inactivity can all worsen circulation, increasing your chance of getting these obvious, thread-like veins.
We offer two highly effective, non-surgical options to treat spider veins, chosen based on the size, color, and location of the veins.
