Spider Veins

Spider Veins in Tucson, AZ


Spider veins are networks of red, blue or purple lines that often resemble a spider’s web. Frequently found on the lower legs, spider veins can also occur on the thighs, abdomen and face. These veins rarely cause any uncomfortable symptoms, but they can become a serious cosmetic concern for some individuals. Some people with spider veins may also experience symptoms like aching or heaviness in the legs and swelling of the lower extremities.

CAUSES OF SPIDER VEINS

In many cases, spider veins are caused by venous insufficiency, the same condition that leads to the formation of larger varicose veins. Valves inside the veins that keep blood flowing toward the heart can wear out or become damaged over time. This leads to pooling of blood in the vessels and swollen veins visible on the surface of the skin.

Other possible causes of spider veins include:

  • Hormonal fluctuations
  • Weight gain
  • Pregnancy
  • Sun damage
  • Trauma to the skin

If you are bothered by the appearance of spider veins, we can help you remove the visible veins and achieve a smoother look to the skin.

At Renewed Medical Health and Beauty, we offer the following treatment and removal options for spider veins:

Laser Therapy – Using a combination of the innovative Pixel laser and pulsed light therapy, we can eliminate visible spider veins on sensitive areas like the face or chest. Using a handheld device, light energy is delivered below the surface of the skin, damaging affected veins so they seal shut and eventually fade from view. The procedure is non-invasive and involves no discomfort or downtime afterward.

Sclerotherapy – Considered the “gold standard” in spider vein treatment, sclerotherapy involves injections of a sclerosing agent directly into the affected veins. The solution damages the walls of the vessels, causing them to seal shut. Treated veins are reabsorbed by the body over time and blood is rerouted through healthy veins nearby. Sclerotherapy usually takes just a few minutes to complete and patients can return to regular activities immediately following the procedure.
