The best treatments for spider veins in the Canary Islands

What are spider veins?
First of all, varicose veins and spider veins are not the same thing. Although they belong to the same family, the two skin conditions are distinct.
Varicose veins are long-lasting accretions of the superficial veins. On the other hand, spider veins are clusters of veins that are smaller and finer than varicose veins. They are also visible on the skin at the superficial level, but their color is red or blue and their size is smaller. Their appearance is similar to a spider's web, hence their name.
Beyond the aesthetic aspect, spider veins do not usually manifest symptoms. Generally, the biggest problem they can cause is some kind of itching in the area. However, eliminating them can be a big step in improving our appearance.
Although both are more common in women than in men, our treatments for spider veins in the Canary Islands are aimed at people of all types.
How spider vein treatment works?
Laser treatment for spider veins is based on using a pulse of light that passes through the skin and is transmuted into heat. This is assimilated by the hemoglobin of the affected blood vessels, coagulating the vessels and promoting their liquidation.
This treatment for spider veins in our clinic in the Canary Islands gradually decreases their size. At the same time the discomfort they may cause is eliminated, and the appearance of the affected area, usually the legs, is significantly improved.
Throughout the treatment the doctor will cover the patient's eyes with protective goggles. Then the laser will be applied to the affected areas, the patient may feel a slight burning. At the end of the session, the area will be redder than usual.

What are the causes of spider veins?
Spider veins occur when the vein pathways in the affected area widen or dilate, causing blood to flow backwards. They usually appear green in color because the blood passing through the veins is deoxygenated.
These are some of the factors that increase the likelihood of developing this condition:
- Age.
- Pregnancy processes.
- Use of oral contraceptives.
- Genetic inheritance.
- Obesity or overweight.
- Gender. Women are more likely to suffer from spider veins.
- Standing or sitting for prolonged periods of time.
