Treatment to reduce and remove appearance of thread veins

Thread veins are common in both, men and women. These veins are also known as spider veins. They are actually damaged veins and capillaries just below the skin. By aging, skin loses collagen and becomes thinner. When veins expand they become visible through the skin. Thread veins can be inherited but generally are caused by prolonged sun-exposure, pregnancy, rosacea, steroid creams, alcohol, smoking and standing for long periods.

There is a thread vein treatment. It is beneficial to remove these spider veins. The type of treatment is performed by using laser light. The laser technology is used that emits light which is readily absorbed by blood vessels, heating them to point where they are destroyed. The vessels quickly clear as they are reabsorbed by the body, leaving little or no trace of the original lesion.

The thread vein treatment is a quick procedure that can be finished in just 10 minutes for a single lesion or up to 45 minutes for a full face. Generally, three to four sessions of treatment are required for maximum results. The repeat sessions are spaced every four to six weeks. Spider veins will disappear immediately after the treatment but they may re-occur a few days later with less visibility. By repeats sessions these vessels will disappear and are not likely to reoccur.
