Spider veins

What are spider veins?

Spider veins are caused by problems with the veins and are widespread. Almost every second woman knows the small and unsightly veins, mostly on the outer sides of the thighs. Men are much less affected than women. Spider veins, which are also called spider veins, spread under the skin like a kind of brush broom and therefore bear their name. Medicine, for example in a beauty clinic in Zurich, Bahnhofsplatz, Bahnhofstrasse, Hauptbahnhof or Kreis1, offers those affected various treatment options to eliminate the blemishes of spider veins. There are also methods to prevent spider veins from developing in the first place.

What are the causes of spider veins?

Spider veins can develop when the blood in the veins accumulates because the venous valves no longer function properly or are overloaded. This causes them to become flaccid and visible under the skin in the form of thin blue-red branches. The development of spider veins is primarily hereditary. In addition, spider veins can form as a result of the action of female sex hormones. The estrogen causes the vessel walls to sag. In this case, taking the contraceptive pill, especially in women older than 30 years, is particularly dangerous. Pregnancy also promotes the sagging of the veins. But it is not only women who are at risk of getting spider veins. People who are overweight are also at risk of getting spider veins. In addition, the development of spider veins is promoted by too much standing or sitting activity, especially at work, and by a general lack of exercise. The interaction between muscle pumps and venous valves is disturbed by too much standing or sitting activity in such a way that the blood cannot be transported from the veins to the heart and always migrates back into the veins and wear out their walls. Smokers must also reckon with getting spider veins, as smoking does not exactly promote vein health, as the specialist from Zurich, Bahnhofsplatz, Bahnhofstrasse, Hauptbahnhof or Kreis1 points out.

How can spider veins be treated?

The removal of spider veins is not absolutely necessary from a medical point of view, as they are considered harmless. However, those who wish to have the blemish removed for aesthetic reasons have the option of having their veins desolated by a specialist, for example in Zurich, Bahnhofsplatz, Bahnhofstrasse, Hauptbahnhof or Kreis1, or of undergoing laser treatment there. Especially for larger spider veins, which consist of both large and medium-sized as well as very fine veins, a combination of both treatment options is used. The treatment of spider veins is carried out by experienced experts such as in a beauty clinic in Zurich, Bahnhofsplatz, Bahnhofstrasse, Hauptbahnhof or Kreis1.

Laser treatment for small spider veins

Laser treatment is used in particular for vessels that are very fine and therefore too small to be soiled. In this method, a laser is guided along the affected areas. This laser releases a certain amount of energy when punctured. The red blood pigment in the vessel absorbs the energy emitted, causing damage to the vein walls. This damage results in the death of the vein. Since the treatment of spider veins with the laser, for example in Zurich, Bahnhofsplatz, Bahnhofstrasse, Hauptbahnhof or Kreis1, is more gentle than the desertification, it is not necessary to wear compression stockings after the procedure. In addition, the side effects are less severe than with desolation. As a rule, the skin only shows redness, which subsides after a while.
