Spider Veins - Laser Away Unsightly Leg Veins - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When the summer arrives, as long as we get sunny weather of course, it's the time most of us want to wear shorts, skirts and bathing suits. But for those with spider or thread veins, wearing skimpy, summer clothes is not an option. Women of every age can get unattractive leg veins, they are all too common and can cause a great deal of embarrassment for many. Until recent years, the only option was to cover them with trousers or tights.

Thread veins tend to develop as we age, with our skin and blood vessels becoming less elastic. They can also be associated with:
  • Pregnancy and menopause
  • Family predisposition
  • Sunbathing
  • Exposure to wind or extreme temperatures
Spider veins treated with laser energy. Before & after.
Spider veins are very common, they appear on the skin in a reddish, purple and blue zigzag pattern. Thread veins are often a sign of getting older, and as the body ages, the valves in your veins weaken, and blood can collect, causing your veins to enlarge and become more visible. These veins can appear all over the body, but they are most commonly seen on the legs, face, ankles, feet and thighs. Spider veins are like varicose veins but smaller and they're also nearer to the surface of the skin than varicose veins.

Poor blood flow and circulation cause spider veins, so you can help prevent spider veins by:
  • Try to avoid crossing your legs for long periods when sitting, as this can cause weakening of the vein walls.
  • Avoiding sitting or standing for long periods as this might aggravate the condition.
  • Limit the time you wear high-heeled shoes, as heels put extra pressure on your legs, which restricts the blood flow from the heart to the legs.
  • Support tights help to stimulate your blood vessels and improve your circulation.
  • It's important to use sun cream to protect the skin on your face, but it can also help prevent spider veins from appearing on your legs, calves and ankles.
Selston Cosmetic Clinic provides the latest cutting-edge, safe and effective cosmetic medical treatments for leg and facial veins. We apply light energy from a laser on a vein, making the vein disappear. Laser energy gets expunged via the skin into the vein, the wall breaks down and closes and the sealed vein is then dissolved and absorbed by the body.

Why put up with unsightly thread veins when there is such a simple solution to permanently banish those tell-tale signs of ageing.
