Spider Veins – Discoloration

Nd-Yag laser improves facial and body telangiectasias (“broken veins”) by coagulating targeted blood vessels. The treatment is painless.

Spider veins are small, red, purple and blue vessels that twist and turn. They develop more often in women than in men, are typically located on the legs and face and tend to increase with age.

Causes of Spider Veins include:
Heredity
Occupations that involve long standing
Obesity
Hormonal influences of pregnancy, puberty, and menopause
Birth control pills
Postmenopausal hormonal replacement

Indications
