Similar to facial spider veins, leg spider veins derive their name from the web-like network of red or blue veins that often begin to spread across the legs with age. These veins are dilated superficial blood vessels, much like varicose veins, but they are smaller and situated closer to the skin’s surface. Leg spider veins are typically caused by increased pressure within the veins. While anyone can develop leg spider veins or varicose veins, treatment is available for anyone.
Leg spider veins and varicose veins are common vascular issues that can cause both discomfort and self-consciousness. At Premier Laser Skin Clinics, we provide an effective solution using the IPL M22 treatment, a state-of-the-art Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) device designed to target and reduce the appearance of these problematic veins.
The IPL M22 works by delivering precise pulses of light energy directly to the affected veins. This light energy is absorbed by the blood vessels, causing them to heat up and collapse. Over time, the treated veins are naturally reabsorbed by the body, resulting in a noticeable reduction in their appearance. This non-invasive treatment is particularly effective for smaller leg veins, offering a safer and more comfortable alternative to traditional vein removal methods.
At Premier Laser Skin Clinics, our highly skilled practitioners tailor each IPL M22 treatment to the individual needs of our clients, ensuring optimal results with minimal downtime. We are committed to using the latest technology to deliver safe, effective, and lasting results for those struggling with leg spider veins and varicose veins.
The problem is also more common in people with jobs that keep them stand for a long time on their feet, such as nurses and teachers. Other factors that may contribute include aging, obesity, pregnancy, prior trauma, or surgery to the leg and a genetic predisposition.
Leg spider veins are mainly a cosmetic issue and not harmful. But if you are concerned about the appearance of your legs with spider veins, Premier Laser & Skin Clinic can offer a very effective and safe solution to remove spider veins with our latest generation laser technology.
In addition to the appearance of patchwork of red and blue veins that you can see through the skin, people with spider veins may also experience swelling in the legs and a feeling of heaviness and tiredness in the legs.
Our Skin experts are available across 6 clinics to assess your skin needs & goals and create a tailored plan suitable to your needs.
