If you have spider veins, you are not alone. These small web-like blue and purple lines just beneath the skinβs surface on the legs and face affect 30-60% of adults and, while typically not dangerous, are a cosmetic nightmare. So it should go without saying that in all my years of practicing medicine, Iβve never met a woman who didnβt want to get rid of them.
Many patients at Live Young Wellness Spa in Flower Mound and Castle Hills are self-conscious about their spider veins and want them treated. Thankfully, we offer ClearV, one of the most frequently used methods for treating spider veins.
ClearV is a non-invasive procedure that effectively and safely treats all of the following:
- Spider veins
- Varicose veins
- Facial telangiectasis
- Leg veins
- Rosacea
- Port wine stains
- Vascular lesions
- Reticular veins
- Skin discoloration
- Broken capillaries
- Skin tags
- Dark circles under the eyes
Why do we get spider veins, anyway?
Without getting too technical, spider veins indicate a vein issue. When working correctly, our veins carry blood from different parts of our body back to the heart without any interference. But as we age, our veins donβt always work as they should. As a result, blood can leak backward and become stuck in the vein, which builds pressure and hurts our veins.
According to the Office on Womenβs Health, spider veins may affect more than half of women. Several factors play a role in spider veins forming, though they occur more frequently in women and individuals who sit or stand for long periods of time. Other factors include pregnancy, being overweight, lack of exercise, sun exposure, age, and even family history.
If you have spider veins or any other issues mentioned above, it is worth scheduling an appointment to see if ClearV is the right treatment option for you.
Unwanted spider veins are no match for ClearV
ClearV effectively and safely treats spider veins and small vessels anywhere people donβt want them by targeting hemoglobin, a component of blood that scars the vessel closed without affecting the skin. More importantly, the subsurface vein illumination offered by ClearV helps us see portions of the vessel that are not visible to the human eye β selectively heating those veins with laser energy so that they disappear completely. This is a massive benefit because treating portions of the vessel you canβt see allows us to treat the entire vein.
For you, that means:
- Mild discomfort with virtually no downtime
- Longer-lasting results
Do you have unsightly vessels, broken capillaries, spider veins, vascular lesions, and discoloration on your skin? With its unique vein illumination technology, ClearV allows us to treat all of these and more to restore your skin tone and color.
