As the weather gets warmer, that's the time most people want to wear shorts, skirts and bathing costumes, but unfortunately for those with spider or thread veins, the thought of wearing skimpy, more revealing clothes isn't an appealing one. Women of all ages can get unattractive spider veins on the face and legs, they are all too common and can cause a great deal of embarrassment. Until recent years, the only option was to cover the face with make-up concealer and the legs with trousers or tights.
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, because as the body ages, the valves in the veins weaken, and blood can collect, causing the 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.
Patterns of red and blue veins that develop on the face are known as spider or thread veins and usually most women consider them unsightly to look at. Most spider veins don't cause any health problems, they're not painful but they're considered displeasing, especially on the face and many people use concealer to cover them up. So instead of spending large amounts of money on make-up to cover up the spider veins on the face, the good news is that there is an alternative permanent solution.
Thread veins tend to develop as we age, when our skin and blood vessels become less elastic, but they can also be associated with pregnancy, menopause, family predisposition, sunbathing or exposure to wind or extreme temperatures. There's no reason we should put up with unsightly thread veins, when there is such a simple solution to permanently banish those tell-tale signs of ageing.
The safest, most effective cosmetic medical treatments for leg and facial veins is laser treatment. A laser gets lightly applied to the skin directly above the spider veins, making the vein disappear. The energy from the laser gets absorbed by coloured tissues, such as spider veins, breaking them down. The closed and sealed vein is then dissolved and absorbed by the body. After treatment, the body slowly re-absorbs the veins. A laser treatment takes only fifteen to thirty minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
