The Cons Patients who have developed more of these veins may need multiple treatments. Some change in the color of your skin, bruising and scarring may occur after the treatment. Patients are asked by doctors to wear compression stockings in order to keep treated veins closed and lessen bruising.
THE TREATMENTS With medical science and technology developing at a rapid pace, getting rid of unsightly veins is not a problem anymore. Laser therapy is a fast, easy and convenient way of treating threadlike branching patterns on your legs or thighs. With the advancement of technology, you can find different types of lasers. In this procedure, a focused light beam is targeted to the pigment of the blood. The laser, after it heats up the affected vein, destroys it successfully. The beam being focused doesn’t harm the adjoining skin tissue. It takes approximately 4 to 6 weeks for the veins to be reabsorbed by your body, and finally to disappear. Another treatment for the condition is Sclerotherapy. It involves introducing (injecting) a solution to your vein. Very often, the combination of both laser therapy and Sclerotherapy are used by physicians for getting effective results.
In many cases, doctors often recommended an ultrasound examination to find out whether the vein valves are properly functioning or not.
So, once you get professional spider vein treatment from a certified and experienced physician, there is nothing to worry. Thereafter, there will be no embarrassments due to blue or red branch-like patterns visible on your lower legs and thighs. You can also wear shorts or swimsuits without feeling awkward.
