Varicose and Spider Veins Treatment
Varicose and spider veins, while both vascular issues, manifest uniquely. Varicose veins are large, raised, and often painful veins that primarily appear on the legs, reflecting a deeper issue related to the malfunctioning of valves within the veins. Spider veins, on the other hand, are smaller, red, purple, and blue vessels visible just under the surface of the skin, commonly found on the legs and face. These cosmetic concerns can signal underlying health problems and often affect one's self-esteem and quality of life.
The root causes of varicose and spider veins are primarily genetic predisposition, prolonged standing or sitting, obesity, hormonal changes, and aging. These factors contribute to the weakening of vein walls or valves, leading to the visible appearance of these veins. Understanding the causes and risk factors is crucial in preventing the occurrence or worsening of these conditions.
At Skin Solutions & Wellness, we prioritize non-invasive treatments to manage and reduce the appearance of varicose and spider veins. Techniques such as Sclerotherapy, a procedure involving the injection of a solution into the vein, causing it to collapse and fade, and Laser Treatments, using light energy to target and destroy abnormal veins, are commonly employed. These methods offer effective results with minimal downtime, making them popular choices among our clients.
For more severe cases of varicose veins, surgical options may be recommended. These include procedures like Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT) and Ambulatory Phlebectomy, which involve removing or closing off the affected veins. Our medical team at Skin Solutions & Wellness closely evaluates each case to determine the most appropriate treatment plan, ensuring both health and aesthetic concerns are addressed.
Adopting lifestyle changes plays a significant role in preventing the development or progression of varicose and spider veins. Regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding prolonged periods of standing or sitting, and wearing compression stockings are effective preventative measures. Post-treatment, we provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to our clients, supporting optimal recovery and long-term wellness. Our goal is to not only treat the symptoms but also to improve our clients' overall vascular health.
