Spider veins or Leg thread veins are harmless but annoying veins that appear on the surface of your skin. Even though these veins are usually not painful, but may negatively affect your confidence, particularly in summer when you want to bare your legs.
As we age, some valves become weaker, so we are more likely to develop leg thread veins. Many people suffering from leg thread veins will find it genetic. This condition is more common in women. Overweight, Pregnancy, Hormones or sitting/ standing for extended periods can be the other reasons.
One of the popular treatment options for leg thread veins is the use of a laser. This will effectively break down unwanted veins using brief pulses of laser light. This light heats up the veins very quickly, causing them to collapse in on themselves. Laser treatment is usually suggested for small veins.
In your consultation, the best treatment will be suggested depending on the size and number of thread veins you have. Some people see the results after one treatment, whereas others will need a course of three to see optimum results.
