What are spider veins?

Spider veins, medically called telangiectasias, are small red and purple veins and capillaries that appear in patches on your legs. 

The network of vessels may appear as delicate as a spider’s web — which is how they got their name — but the patches may also look like tiny sunbursts, branching trees, or squiggly lines.

Researchers are still investigating what happens in the body to produce spider veins, but you may be at risk of developing the visible blood vessels if they run in your family. Women are also more likely to develop spider veins than men.

Though your spider veins may cause aching or discomfort, they’re more of a cosmetic concern than a medical issue. 

Unfortunately, spider veins rarely go away on their own. At Elevate with Ogeechee Health, the team offers treatments for spider veins to improve the look of your legs. 

What is spider vein treatment like?

The Elevate with Ogeechee Health team uses cutting-edge, noninvasive Vasculaze technology to target and reduce the appearance of unwanted blood vessels on your skin’s surface.

It uses focused light to heat and collapse visible veins without damaging the surrounding tissue. Over time, your body reabsorbs these treated vessels, resulting in clearer, more even-toned skin.

Because it’s precise and gentle, the team can use Vasculaze on delicate areas like your face as well as on larger areas like your legs.

What happens during Vasculaze procedures?

The Elevate with Ogeechee Health team begins your Vasculaze session by cleansing and numbing your skin to make sure you’re comfortable. They then use a hand-held laser device to deliver pulses of light directly to the targeted veins.

You might feel a mild snapping or warming feeling during your treatment, which typically lasts 15-45 minutes. You can return to your routine when the procedure is done.

You might notice some redness or slight swelling at first, but this should only last a few hours to a couple of days. The team will recommend a series of treatments for the best results and space them out to work for you.

Over time, you’ll notice veins fading.

Don’t hesitate to take back the smooth appearance and boosted confidence you want. Call Elevate with Ogeechee Health or book a consultation online today to explore cutting-edge spider vein treatments.
