Spider and Thread veins also called ‘’telangiectasias’’ are damaged, visible blood vessels just beneath your skin's surface. They typically look red, blue or purple. They may appear in clusters that resemble spider webs or tree branches. Spider veins can form anywhere, but they usually develop in your legs or face.
A number of factors contribute to the appearance of Spider/thread veins on your skin, placing pressure on capillaries and fine veins results in damage or expansion of veins is the ultimate reason for the appearance of these unsightly veins.
The factors include:
The laser used for removal of these veins is a short wave diathermy unit. The unit uses an alternating, high frequency current to treat the veins.
Laser treatment involves beams of intense pulses of laser light to shrink and destroy the veins which are red blood vessels at the skin's surface. The veins are collapsed by probing gently into them with a sterile needle.
You may experience a sensation similar of having an elastic band snapped against the skin.
Once treated the body’s natural waste process gradually breaks down the collapsed vessel to finally leaving the skin clear and smooth.
Occasionally there may be a slight discoloration on the treatment area, but this should fade with time, treated veins will not return however in some cases new ones may form in the area depending on the underlying medical cause. A calming solution will be applied after the treatment.
Common side effects of this treatment are typically mild and temporary including redness and slight swelling.
