Leg Spider Vein Removal
in Manhattan, NYC
What Causes Spider Veins?
Spider veins are small, thin blood vessels that appear on the skin’s surface, usually red or blue and most often found on the legs. They are not necessarily indicative of any health risk, but many people find their appearance unpleasant. The most common causes include:
- Aging – collagen loss and stretching veins allow blood to pool and discolor the skin
- Genetics – a child whose parent developed spider veins is more likely to develop them too
- Sun damage – chronic UV exposure destroys collagen and damages superficial blood vessels
- Pregnancy – weight gain and increased blood volume put pressure on superficial leg veins
Prevent Noticeable Leg Veins
It is not possible to completely stop the development of spider veins — some people are simply predisposed. A few habits, though, can help minimize the development of noticeable leg veins:
- Avoid excess heat or cold on the legs
- Do not apply topical steroids
- Do not sit or stand for long periods without stretching
- Use mild, fragrance- and dye-free body cleansers
- Avoid fabrics that irritate the skin
- Maintain a healthy weight and avoid excess weight gain
Laser Treatment for Spider Veins
Targeted laser treatment zones in on visible vessels, smooths skin, and can even encourage new collagen growth. Leg vein treatments are minimally invasive, and patients are kept comfortable from start to finish.
- Time commitment – sessions typically take 15 to 30 minutes, depending on how many veins are treated
- Treatment sessions – one session may be enough, while others need several for the optimal look
- Recovery – temporary redness or bruising is possible, but there is typically no downtime
- Results – usually visible within four to six weeks; touch-ups can help maintain clear skin
