Spider veins can occur in men as well as women, and the latest statistic show that about 15% of the guys struggle with an occurrence of superficial veins. Spider veins are small, twisted blood vessels that are visible through the skin.  They can be red, purple or blue and appear in our legs, face, hands and chest. You can blame them on weight gain, hormones, genetics or lifestyle challenges.  All these factors in a way contributed to the effect on the valves in our veins causing veins to become swollen and twisted at the surface of the skin. For those suffering from leg veins, our MD at Beauty RX can help you navigate a personalized treatment plan to treat leg veins.

As Dr. Fairweather shares, “telangiectasias are practically a rite of passage.  As we age, fluctuate in our weight, have changes in our hormones, men will see changes in their veins.  Healthy veins carry blood to the heart through a series of values, but as we age, the veins can weaken and as a result tend to swell, twist and bulge.  That’s when you see spider like veins.  Spider veins can be more of an eyesore – the inflamed veins can be tender or itchy or get swollen.  As an MD, I recommend laser therapy.  Laser therapy is excellent at destroying spider veins with heat baring any invasive scalpel or puncture marks on the skin.  Most people love the results with laser vein therapy.”

An effective way to treating discolored, superficial veins is through lasers.  With the Elite MPX laser, the laser uses a broad band of pulsed light to target leg veins located on the skin surface.  The discolored leg veins absorb the laser heat and are essentially destroyed.  The light pulses produced by the laser is similar to the feeling of flicking a rubber elastic band which is utterly not uncomfortable for most people. Depending on the size and area, multiple treatments are usually needed to achieve results. Laser treatments for leg veins are quick, safe and non-invasive.
