Spider Vein: What Is It?
“Spider vein” is the common name for a skin condition called Telangiectasias … which are dilated blood vessels that can be seen through the skin. This problem usually occurs in the legs and hands. But you may also sometimes find facial spider veins in some cases.
They appear blue, red, or purple and are in the form of lightening lines or webs. Don’t confuse them with varicose veins, which are larger and swollen and may lead to blood clot problems later in life. Spider veins, on the other hand can be painful but do not pose any major threat to your future health.
What Causes Spider Veins?
Spider veins in the legs and hands are formed when the valves stop performing the task of maintaining a one-way blood flow due to weakness or damage to the vein walls. It can happen if you stand for over four hours a day or it can be due to age, pregnancy, obesity, etc.
The reason behind facial veins is burst blood veins or high pressure. It can also be induced by an external cause like severe damage caused by the focused beam of light from the sun.
What is Laser Spider Vein Treatment?
Our Fotona laser vein treatment is a non-surgical method that uses laser light for the removal of spider veins. The EndoVenous Laser Ablation or EVLA treatment by Fotona targets the spider veins using Nd:YAG laser energy.
This vein reduction treatment not only improves the unwanted vein’s appearance but also helps get rid of redness, swelling, burning, etc. It can also enhances blood circulation in your body.
How Does Laser Vein Therapy Work?
The process of laser vein removal treatment, uses bursts of laser light on the damaged veins’ interiors. The walls reduce in size and the laser light can destroy the vein without damaging your skin. Small spider veins may disappear immediately after treatment and permanently.
During the laser spa session, the Fotona laser causes the vessels to collapse and gradually fade away with the metabolization of hemoglobin by your body. The veins in the surrounding areas eventually restore regular blood circulation.
How Many Laser Vein Treatment Sessions Do You Need?
For the best results of Fotona laser vein removal treatment, you’ll need multiple sessions. You’ll likely need 2-4 sessions of 15-20 minutes each.
But if your skin condition may be quite severe or absolutely light. The exact number of sessions depends on the severity of your condition. It can take more time to get the results you want.
Everything depends on how many treatments you require to resolve the visible veins on your skin. Again, multiple treatments may be required, but many factors impact the efficacy of individual laser treatments, including the severity of the conditions being treated and any other skin condition you may have.
