Spider Veins & Broken Capillaries
Spider veins, which spread like a spider's web, are flat, red, blue or purple veins on the skin's surface.
Heredity, hormones and daily routines play a roll in determining whether or not the valves will fail, leading to abnormal veins.
Spider veins, commonly found on the face and legs, are caused by the dilation of a small group of blood vessels near the skin's surface. Women most frequently request spider vein removal on their legs and men usually request to have them removed from their face.
Elos technology offers a very effective means of treating spider veins. The technology works by transmitting light through the skin to the blood vessels being treated. As the light is absorbed, it is converted into heat, which is conducted to the surrounding walls of the vessels. If enough damage is done to the walls of these tiny veins, the circulatory system will not be able to repair it, and the tiny veins will completely disappear. The light can deliver energy to a large area with each pulse, so vein removal takes just a few minutes to treat each discoloured vein.
No anaesthesia is required but you will experience a stinging sensation during the treatment, which resolves immediately after the treatment is over.
The development of new veins cannot be prevented and if your body tends to develop vascular problems, you will most likely need to return for additional treatments.
