Spider 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.
Laser 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.
