Facials in San Mateo – Cosmetica Slim Med Spa is your one stop shop
At Cosmetica Slim Med Spa, we are on a mission to redefine the art of skin rejuvenation.
Spider Veins vs. Varicose Veins
Spider veins are clusters of small blood vessels that develop near the surface of the skin. They may be flat or slightly raised and are often blue, red, or purple. As the name implies, they often resemble a spider web. While spider veins can cause some discomfort, they are usually painless.
Varicose veins are larger and deeper than spider veins. They are typically blue, purple or skin-colored and often appear lumpy and twisted. Unlike spider veins, varicose veins can cause problems beyond an undesirable appearance. These symptoms may include pain, itching, bleeding, swelling, or an achy feeling in the legs. Varicose veins can also increase a person’s risk of blood clots and circulation problems.
Laser Treatments for Spider Veins and Varicose Veins
Fortunately, these pesky veins are treatable. At Cosmetica Slimking sbd Medspa Clinic we recommend laser treatment and we have top of the line devices and technologies to achieve the best results. Lasers are an effective method for treating blood vessels in the legs that are less than 1-2 millimeters in diameter.
While sclerotherapy is the most common vein treatment, laser treatment is less invasive and an excellent option for patients who have failed sclerotherapy or for patients who are fearful of treatment with needles. Plus, lasers can be used in combination with other effective treatment options.
How does the Excel V Laser work?
The laser delivers pulses of light energy which cause the blood within the vein to coagulate, eventually destroying the vessel which is later reabsorbed by your body. Blood flow will then be redirected to veins deeper below your skin's surface, where it should be.
