How can one get rid
of spider veins?
Spider veins on the
legs can be removed using two methods. One is sclerotherapy and other is laser.
Sclerotherapy involves injection of an irritant chemical into each spider vein.
The irritant chemical causes collapse of the vein. The vein is then slowly
removed from the body in a few weeks. Each spider veins requires a needle prick.
After the procedure, compressive garments have to be worn for about a week.
Laser is another way
to treat spider veins. The procedure is fast, has little down time and the
results are fairly immediate. Laser unfortunately is fairly expensive.
How are spider veins
on the face treated?
On the face, spider
veins can be treated with laser. The treatment is fast and effective. The
current lasers also come with a cooling tip so that the pain is minimized. Some
people require 2-4 sessions of laser to remove all the spider veins. After
laser treatments, there may be some mild swelling and redness.
Can spider veins
recur?
Yes. The only bad
news is that spider veins can recur. Recurrences occur with both treatments.
How can I prevent
spider veins?
On the leg,
preventive steps include the wearing of compressive stocking and avoiding
weight gain. On the face, one must keep out of the sun to avoid spider veins. A
sunscreen is highly recommended for all individuals who want to avoid spider
veins.
