Treating Spider And Varicose Veins
Omlas
Varicose veins are enlarged veins which mainly form in the legs of
women. Spider veins as well as varicose veins for the most part
pose no medical problem. They are just not good to look at.
Varicose veins could pose a problem. They can cause pain and
discomfort and could lead to a more serious condition. Varicose
veins affect more than 60 percent of people mainly women.
The symptoms can be aching, discomfort, burning, throbbing or
swelling in the legs. They look like blue or purple cords and
spider veins are smaller and blue or red in color. Closer to
the surface of the skin and look like spider webs, hence the
name spider veins.
Age, obesity, genetics, even standing for long periods of time
may put you at risk for developing varicose veins. You can help
reduce the risk by exercising, losing weight so your legs do not
have extra weight to carry, avoid long periods of standing or
sitting.
Tight clothing or high heels can mess up the circulation and
blood flow. Elevate your feet for short periods of time
throughout the day.
Spider veins usually are just a cosmetic problem. Laser and IPL
treatment is a very good way to tackle these. It uses a very
accurate laser to send a strong light beam into the vein. This
makes the spider veins slowly disappear and most skin types can
be treated.
Laser and IPL treatment uses no needles and does not need to
breakthrough the skin. You feel heat that may be painful but it
will go away shortly. Treatments of 2 to 5 times may be needed
to fully remove the spider veins and the process lasts about 15
or 20 minutes each. Since it is very quick and no severe pain or
incisions are needed you can return to normal everyday activity
right after treatment.
Redness, swelling or slight bruising may occur after the laser
process but will disappear in a 1 to 2 days.
So laser surgery for spider veins may be right for you. But
always consult your medical professional. This article is not
to replace the advice of a medical professional.
