Spider Veins: Everything You Need to Know
Spider veins are small, damaged blood vessels visible beneath the skin’s surface. They commonly appear in red, blue, or purple shades and resemble tiny webs or branches. Spider veins most frequently appear on the thighs, legs, and face (particularly around the nose and cheeks).
While spider veins are primarily a cosmetic issue and not usually harmful, they can occasionally cause sensations like burning, aching, or tingling. Many people find that these veins affect their confidence, prompting them to seek out treatments to soften or remove them.
Why Do Spider Veins Appear?
Several factors can contribute to the development of spider veins. Below are some of the most common causes:
Genetic predisposition: If your family members have spider veins, there’s a higher chance that you may develop them, too.
Prolonged standing or sitting: Jobs that involve extended periods of sitting or standing can cause blood to pool in the legs, eventually leading to the formation of spider veins.
Hormonal factors: Hormonal shifts due to pregnancy, menopause, or even birth control can trigger the appearance of spider veins.
Aging: Our veins lose elasticity as we age, causing blood to pool and making veins more noticeable.
Excess weight: Being obese or carrying excess weight adds pressure to the veins, increasing the likelihood of spider vein formation.
While aging and genetics are beyond our control, other factors, such as staying active and maintaining a healthy weight, can help prevent or minimize the development of spider veins.
The Difference Between Spider Veins And Varicose Veins
It’s easy to confuse spider veins with varicose veins, but there are notable differences. Spider veins are smaller, thinner, and located closer to the skin’s surface. They typically appear as fine lines or webs and are generally a cosmetic concern.
Varicose veins, on the other hand, are more prominent, swollen veins that often bulge beneath the skin. They can cause discomfort and, if untreated, may lead to more severe health issues.
While both types of veins can be treated, varicose veins often require more intensive care.
What Is Asclera Spider Vein Treatment?
Asclera is an FDA-approved injectable solution for treating spider and small varicose veins. The treatment involves injecting Asclera into the problematic veins, causing them to collapse and eventually disappear.
This process is known as sclerotherapy.
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that effectively reduces the visibility of unwanted spider veins. The results are long-lasting and can help you avoid more invasive treatments like surgery.
How Does Asclera Tackle Spider Veins?
Asclera works by triggering a controlled irritation of the treated vein’s lining. Once injected, the solution irritates the walls of the blood vessels, causing them to collapse and close off. Over time, the body naturally redirects blood flow to healthier veins, and the collapsed veins are absorbed, gradually fading away.
This process allows your body to eliminate the spider veins without invasive surgery, making the targeted veins less visible over the weeks following treatment.
Spider Vein Treatment at Beauty Vault
Here’s what to expect when you receive Asclera treatment at Beauty Vault:
Initial Consultation
Before any treatment at Beauty Vault, we begin the process with a detailed consultation. During this session, you’ll meet with one of our skilled practitioners, who will review the treatment process with you and assess the area of concern.
We’ll determine if Asclera is the right solution for you, and you’ll have the chance to ask any questions. You’ll create a custom treatment plan with your practitioner to ensure that your aesthetic goals are met.
Spider Vein Treatment
On the day of your appointment, you’ll be guided to one of our comfortable treatment rooms. Your Beauty Vault practitioner will cleanse the treatment area before carefully injecting the Asclera solution into the target veins using a fine needle.
The procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes, and you can resume most of your daily activities immediately after treatment.
Aftercare and Results
After your treatment, your practitioner will give you specific aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results. To help the healing process, you may be advised to:
- Wear compression stockings to aid circulation
- Avoid strenuous physical activities
- Refrain from taking hot showers or baths
- Stay out of direct sunlight
Results should become noticeable within about a week, with the full effect visible over the following months as the treated veins fade. Multiple treatments may be recommended depending on your individual needs to achieve your desired outcome.
