SPIDER VEINS
How Do Spider Veins Work?
Minimally invasive methods to restore even-toned, smooth skin and remove unsightly veins.
The small blood vessels known as telangiectasias, or spider veins, become visible under the epidermis as tiny conspicuous veins. Spider veins commonly appear on the legs, thighs, ankles, and face in a web-like pattern with red, blue, or purple colours. These veins are harmless by nature, but they may develop into cosmetic issues or signal circulatory problems that need medical attention. Our team at Rasa Derm provides modern and safe medical procedures that effectively remove or eliminate spider veins to deliver better skin appearance.
Why Do Spider Veins Form
The formation of spider veins occurs when the small blood vessels called capillaries experience swelling and weakness and damage. Various conditions trigger small veins to rise towards the skin surface, including:
Genetics
The likelihood of developing spider veins at a young age increases when you have a family history of the condition. The natural structure and elasticity of veins get their direction from genetic inheritance.
People in roles that involve sitting or standing for work, such as nursing, teaching, or office work, may develop abnormal blood flow and elevated vein pressure in their legs that leads to spider vein formation.
The hormonal shift during adolescence, pregnancy, oral contraceptive use, and menopause weakens blood vessel walls, thus making women more prone to the condition.
Sun Exposure
The tissues that support skin become damaged from extended UV light exposure, which leads to collagen breakdown and dilated or burst capillaries in the face.
Age
Our skin together with veins faces natural weakening of elasticity and strength during ageing, which makes them susceptible to damage and dilatation.
Trauma Or Injury
Capillaries tend to burst when pre-existing vein weakness meets any form of skin pressure or bump.
Smoking
The visible thread-like veins become more likely to appear because smoking and obesity, together with physical inactivity, create poor circulation.
We select our non-surgical treatments for spider veins based on vein size, colour, and location to provide two effective options.
