Spider veins
CLEAN LEGS, WITHOUT REDNESS?
YES, THANKS TO THE LASER!
Tiny red or purplish “hairs”, visible on the skin, varicosities are not a disease, but they indicate veno-capillary fragility.
WHY DO WE HAVE VARICOSITIES?
In the dermis run small veinlets that are invisible in their natural state. When the veins expand beyond 0.1 mm, they become visible through the skin and form what are called varicosities or telangiectasias.
They always form on a predisposed basis (family history) and are accentuated by aggravating factors:
- Hormonal influence in women: pregnancy, oral contraception, etc.
- Obesity,
- Tobacco,
- Trauma to the leg veins,
- Prolonged standing position,
- Floor heating.
TREATMENT OF VARICOSITIES
THE micro-sclerosis are micro-injections, using a very fine needle, of sclerosing products which will make the visible vessels disappear. They are carried out by your phlebologist. In the immediate aftermath, they will leave a small hematoma which will disappear within 10 days following the session.
THE Yag laser is used for very fine varicosities inaccessible to sclerosis or in combined treatment combining sclerosis and laser. The results obtained with the laser depend on the age of the varicosities. When they are less than a year old, complete eradication can be obtained in two or three Laser sessions.
I will perform this Yag laser treatment in the office, on your untanned skin.
