Are Unsightly Spider Veins Keeping you from Showing Off Your Smooth, Beautiful Legs?

If spider veins are keeping you off the beach and from wearing comfortable shorts in the Florida sun, you may have thought about miraculous laser spider vein treatment to get rid of these ugly veins that make you feel less than attractive. You may have heard about sclerotherapy and laser spider vein treatments – cosmetic procedures that are all the rage and readily available without discomfort and downtime in vein clinics. But what you may not know is that the spider veins you remove today may not prevent more from appearing in other parts of your legs.

What you should know before you choose a cosmetic spider vein treatment…

Whether spider veins are on your legs, feet, face, neck and/or décolletage, these thread-like bright red to blue veins appearing just under the skin are caused by abnormal venous blood flow. The result is an increased pressure in these tiny blood vessels, causing them to stretch and become prominent. Most of the time, spider veins on the legs are harmless and purely a cosmetic concern. But they also can be due to hidden underlying venous disease. When this is the case, cosmetic procedures should only be done after an evaluation and treatment for the problem producing the spider veins. Besides offering a cosmetic solution for existing veins, this approach will prevent the occurrence of more spider veins and varicose veins from developing.

How do you know if your spider veins are associated with a more serious problem?

When spider veins and varicose veins are associated with aching burning pain and a feeling of tired legs that increases after long periods of standing or activity, they may be the first sign of venous disease. The only way to be absolutely sure if your spider veins are hiding a venous disease problem is to be evaluated in a vein treatment center that is capable of diagnosing and treating underlying vein pathology.

What you can expect from most vein centers…

Most laser centers and vein clinics providing cosmetic spider vein removal exclusively offer aesthetic procedures. They are staffed by physicians and other providers who are not vein specialists. Patients treated in these facilities will not be evaluated for an underlying venous disease problem. They receive and pay for cosmetic procedures that can cover up a more serious problem in need of treatment. Because the problem producing the veins still exists, it is only a matter of time before new spider veins appear.
