Welcome to the upcoming home of Spider Veins .orgSpider Veins: When Blood Vessels SurfaceSpider veins (telengiectasias) are those unwanted blood vessels that make their appearance on our skin. Sometimes they appear on our face as facial veins, across our nose, on our cheeks, or along our forehead. In other cases the spread out across our legs, making us insecure about wearing shorts or skirts. Regardless of where we have them, we want to be rid of them. The good news is that today we now have new technologies which can easily rid our skin of these pesky blue or purple vessels. Gone in a FlashLaser treatment of spider veins is a highly effective way to reduce and remove the visible blood vessels in the skin. Dermatologists and researchers have developed new lasers which can quickly and painlessly remove these vessels with little or no downtime. Results are often instantaneous and dramatic. To remove them over a large area, such as legs, may require a series of 3 to 6 laser treatments for satisfactory results. The vessels that are removed during the treatment are abnormal and not required for proper function of the body. They actually function abnormally, and once removed, are replaced by healthy vessels beneath the skin. Note: They shouldnt be misconstrued with arteries, which take blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
