Varicose Veins

We use the Nd:Yag laser to treat larger, deeper veins. The light emited from the Nd:Yag laser travels through your skin down to the intended vessel which absorbs its heat energy and collapses.

Spider Veins

Risk Factors for Developing Spider Veins

Some people are at greater risk for developing spider veins. These risk factors include:

1. Sex - Females in any age group are more likely than males to develop spider veins.
2. Genetic factors - Some people have veins with abnormally weak walls or valves. They may develop spider veins even without a rise in blood pressure in the superficial veins.
3. Pregnancy - A woman's total blood volume increases during pregnancy, which increases the blood pressure in the venous system. In addition, the hormonal changes of pregnancy cause the walls and valves in the veins to soften.
4. Using birth control pills.
5. Obesity - Excess body weight increases pressure on the veins.
6. Occupational factors - People whose jobs require standing or sitting for long periods of time without the opportunity to walk or move around are more likely to develop spider veins than people whose jobs allow more movement.

Prevention of Spider Veins

Although it is impossible to completely prevent spider veins, there are several things you can do:

• Exercise regularly and maintain a normal weight
• If you are prone to leg spider veins, try not to sit for stand or prolonged periods of time
• Avoid high consumption of alcohol
• Treat your skin gently and avoid abrasive facial scrubs
• Protect your skin with sunscreen

How the Vascular Laser works

Non invasive laser energy is absorbed by hemoglobin and converted to heat energy

Due to this heat energy immediately after treatment blood coagulates and
the vessel wall collapses

Over time the vessel is reabsorbed by the body and dissappears
