Picture yourself slipping into that summer dress, your legs smooth and radiant, exuding confidence with every step.
But for many, the tiny, web-like appearance of spider veins can dull that shine, making you second-guess showing off your legs. These red, blue, or purple veins aren’t just a superficial concern—they often point to deeper vein issues, causing discomfort, aching, or even throbbing sensations.
You’re not alone in wondering, “What causes spider veins, and how do I get rid of them?” The good news is, Columbus Vascular Vein & Aesthetics offers cutting-edge, minimally invasive treatments to help you regain flawless, confident legs—without the worry.
Understanding Spider Veins: Beyond the Surface
Spider veins, medically known as telangiectasias, are small, dilated blood vessels that appear close to the skin’s surface. They most commonly occur on the legs and face but can appear anywhere on the body.
Causes of Spider Veins:
- Hormonal changes: Hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy, menopause, or even menstruation can contribute to the development of spider veins.
- Genetics: If spider veins run in your family, you might be more susceptible to developing them.
- Sun exposure: Excessive sun exposure can damage the skin and blood vessels, making spider veins more prominent.
- Prolonged standing or sitting: Occupations or lifestyles that require prolonged standing or sitting can put pressure on the veins in your legs, increasing the risk of spider veins.
While spider veins are often considered a cosmetic concern, they can sometimes indicate an underlying condition called venous insufficiency.
This occurs when the valves in the veins, which help to circulate blood back to the heart, become weak or damaged. As a result, blood can pool in the veins, causing them to enlarge and become visible as spider veins.
Vein problems don’t just affect your appearance – they impact your quality of life. Let our experts help you address both the symptoms and the root cause.
The Evolution of Spider Vein Treatment: Embracing Minimally Invasive Solutions
Gone are the days of invasive vein stripping surgeries and lengthy recovery times. At Columbus Vascular Vein & Aesthetics, we offer a new era of spider vein treatment, with a focus on minimally invasive procedures that provide effective results with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Columbus Vascular Vein & Aesthetics offers the following advanced treatment options for spider veins:
- Sclerotherapy: This highly effective treatment involves injecting a solution directly into the spider vein, causing it to collapse and fade. Sclerotherapy is a quick, outpatient procedure with minimal discomfort and downtime.
- Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy: For deeper or more complex spider veins, ultrasound guidance can enhance the accuracy of sclerotherapy, ensuring the solution reaches the targeted vein effectively.
- Varithena Vein Treatment: This innovative treatment uses a microfoam solution to collapse the affected vein. Varithena is ideal for larger spider veins or small varicose veins and offers a quick recovery time.
