What Are Spider Veins?
Spider veins are an unsightly cosmetic concern that medical professionals are unsure of their precise cause. It’s speculated that their development is primarily due to weakened or damaged vein valves. Every day, blood is circulating throughout your body. When blood reaches your lower extremities, greater energy output is required to push the blood back up to your heart. This energy output is needed because of gravity’s force, which your blood needs to work against. Your veins consist of valves that help prevent your blood from slipping backward. It’s possible for these valves to become damaged, resulting in a pooling of blood in your veins, which causes them to expand and protrude. The result is spider veins. While medical professionals aren’t certain of the precise cause for spider veins, certain factors can potentially lead to their development.
Causes
- Old age
- A sedentary lifestyle
- Alcohol and tobacco use
- Hormonal changes
- Obesity
- Pregnancy
- Skin inflammatory conditions
Who is a good Spider Vein candidate?
If you are struggling with your spider veins, you will be an excellent candidate for spider vein treatment at Northcoast Laser Cosmetics. The treatment can be performed on men and women of any skin tone. Your spider vein treatment provider will review your spider veins, medical history and currently prescribed medications during an initial consultation to ensure candidacy. If you are taking blood thinners, you should stop taking them for several weeks before and after your spider vein treatment. It’s also key to have realistic expectations if you are considering the treatment. Spider vein treatment is often performed on the legs, where they are commonly found, but the treatment is also successful at treating broken capillaries found on the face. Consultation is required.
What to Expect
Depending on how many sites you are having treated and their size, spider vein treatment can last 15 minutes to one hour. After your spider vein treatment provider has introduced enough laser energy to your unwanted spider veins, compression stocks will be wrapped around your legs that will make your blood flow consistent.
A single session of spider vein treatment can produce fantastic results. However, multiple sessions may be recommended to attain optimal results.
The appearance of leg veins will either dramatically fade or completely disappear during the treatment. Some vessels may show temporary redness and swelling that may convert to a cat scratch mark. The treated vessel’s bruising will gradually fade as the healing process occurs, which may take between two to eight weeks.
Most patients see excellent improvement after just two treatments. Everyone responds differently to treatment, with some needing only one treatment and others requiring a third treatment. You will be provided pre and post-treatment instructions that will help you optimize your results.

The stronger and thicker your skin is, the better protected the deeper layers of your skin are from outside irritants. A strong skin barrier also helps to retain moisture. PRP can help promote collagen.
Collagen is essential for tight, firm skin. As you age, your skin starts to sag and become noticeably thin and gaunt. Collagen plumps up the skin. Some people may use a PRP facial to plump up their lips. Others use it to re-contour their cheeks without the need for an invasive medical procedure. Regardless of your skin insecurities, be sure to ask how PRP can help you achieve your ideal aesthetic.
Lines and wrinkles are among the most common reasons people seek a PRP facial. Old skin cells are recycled and new skin cells, collagen, and elastin are formed. The appearance of deeper folds is also diminished as hollow areas of your face are plumped up.
Around the age of 25, your body’s collagen production rate drops drastically. It continues to decline at a significant rate for the rest of your life unless you do something to stimulate it. PRP help promote and grow new, stronger, healthier collagen
