Spider Veins

Spider veins can appear on the legs and face and are the result of the skin thinning, allowing the blood vessels to show through. As one ages, the skin gets thinner and more transparent, and spider veins become more visible. It is estimated that more than 75% of females over the age of 18 have spider veins. These red, blue or purple thread-like lines may develop on any part of the body, including the face, but most often appear on the thighs, calves, or buttocks.

Spider veins are typically caused by the weakening of the walls of blood vessels and also abnormal blood flow. Gaining weight, sitting or standing for long amounts of time, pregnancy, or sun exposure are main contributors to the development of spider veins. During pregnancy, the amount of estrogen rises, which weakens the walls of the veins and can cause spider veins to develop or worsen.

Through vein treatments offered at Indigo MedSpa, embarrassing spider veins can be eliminated. Indigo MedSpa has specialized lasers for superficial vein treatment which coagulate blood vessels, allowing them to be reabsorbed by the body. Coagulation is a harmless procedure and can dramatically reduce or eliminate spider veins in many areas of the body.

What device is used to treat spider veins?

Indigo MedSpa uses the Cynosure Elite Laser (YAG) to treat spider veins. After a consultation the best course of treatment will be determined by your Indigo MedSpa consultant based on your specific skin needs.

Claudette's Testimonial

"After my great experience with laser hair removal and microdermabrasion, I finally decided to do something about my spider veins. Every woman has something about themselves that they just can't stand, and for me, it was the spider veins. I've always been unhappy with them, and instead of hiding them, I decided to do something about them. I have a job that requires a lot of time spent at a desk, and the effects of that were really starting to show on my legs - but not anymore! After every laser treatment more of the veins disappear right before my eyes..." Click here to read more.
