Facial Spider Veins
Not a Disease
Facial spider veins in the first place are not a serious ailment which can put you off physically and mentally for long periods of time. At best is a vein disorder capable of some social embarrassment for cosmetic reasons. The largest organ in the body is the skin. Right below the skin, we have an exhaustive network comprised of fine vessels and capillaries nourishing the skin. When inflammed, spider veins on the face and nose surface.
There are times when some of these vessels may break or even burst due to a volley of reasons like pressure, skin trauma, genetics, moving between two extremities of temperature, hormones, poor circulation etc. When the veins are damaged thus, they tend to protrude above the surface of the skin and we call it spider veins.
Legs take the maximum load supporting our body weight, taking us places, and generally keep us up on our feet whenever necessary. Therefore, venous dysfunction is quick to surface on the legs. But, due to sun damage, primarily, facial spiders veins may appear.
Spider Vein Treatment
The skin has no use of the broken capillaries and can be removed or treated through an appropriate treatment like laser or Sclerotherapy. To remove spider vein through laser 1064 nm is generally employed. When employed, the laser will coagulate or thicken the blood present in the vessel. Once this treatment is effected, the body absorbs the vessels. For removal and treatment of spider veins on the face, the prescribed gold standard is Coolglide 1064 nm laser from Cutera.
Alternatively, removing spider veins can be done effectively using a cream like CapiDerm Rx® Spider Veins Treatment to coagulate micro-capillaries and clear veins of blood residue...offering diminished appearance of veins while strengthening venus structure and valves.
Sunspots
Prolonged periods of exposure to sun have been identified as a major cause of spider veins. Added to this, many people are not even aware what liver sots, age spots, or sun spots are also. With advancement in age, the ability of our body to regenerate or heal itself after prolonged exposure to sun diminishes.
This is not say that sun spots and age spots are life threatening. No, they are potential reasons to develop into early stages of skin cancer, though a majority of these sun spots are just sore looking. When you are looking to keep your skin clean and blemish less, it is important that these sunspots be removed in good time. Sunspots can be removed by using bleaching creams; laser “resurfacing and intense pulsed light therapy” chemical peels, etc.
While all these have their advantages, they are not free from problems either. It would therefore be best to consult your health care provider before you embark on getting your sun spots removed. When you use sunscreens and watch out on your exposure durations, you may not even need sun spot removal. Protection is better than cure, isn’t it?
Removing facial spider veins is safe and easy. Laser treatments by a dermatologist work well for the largest and most visible veins. For smaller and spread-out veins that cause discoloration fro a distance, a Vitamin K spider vein cream is the the most effective long-term treatment. |
