What are Spider Veins?
It’s very common to see Dr. Timothy Jones consulting with patients who are complaining of their spider veins. This commonly appears as red or purple, thin, threadlike veins located just under the skin’s surface. This can be seen anywhere in the body, but most often it appears in the legs and in the faces of our patients.
Almost half of the women’s population is affected by this condition. Spider veins can be caused by a number of factors like heredity, pregnancy, hormonal imbalance, weight gain, and occupation or activities that require you to stand or sit for prolonged periods.
Patients who are looking for effective spider vein treatments need to look no further. Dr. Timothy Jones and his team at Jones Plastic Surgery offer the best treatments for spider veins that are guaranteed effective with long lasting effects.
Spider Vein Treatments
Spider veins that appear anywhere in the body have no medical consequence and are not cause for alarm for our patients . However, the appearance of facial spider veins has such a big aesthetic significance and bothers many of Dr. Jones’ patients.
- Facial spider veins are usually caused by too much exposure to harmful rays of the sun. This can also be a consequence of other skin conditions like rosacea. Facial spider veins are usually very prominent in areas around the nose, in the cheeks, and in the chin. At our clinic , Dr. Timothy Jones treats facial spider veins using the innovative technology of the Alma Nd Yag laser and the Alma AFT 570 laser. Both treatments are proven effective in reducing the appearance of spider veins not only in the face, but also in the chest.
- Spider veins that appear in other parts of the body like the legs are commonly treated using sclerotherapy. This procedure involves the introduction of a sclerosing solution into each affected vein. Once it is injected into the vein, it will cause it to collapse and fade gradually. Spider veins in the legs can also be treated with the use of our laser therapy techniques which is also as effective as the traditional sclerotherapy technique.
