Spider veins occur when networks of blood vessels in the body start to dilate. Most spider veins present no real medical risk to the body although some people do experience aching in the area. Spider veins are really an aesthetic problem because they create an area of dark marks on the legs or thighs that is clearly visible. Fortunately, Varicose to Perfect has the experience and technology to help anyone in the Springboro, Ohio area to get rid of spider veins. It is important to understand why spider veins form and how they can be treated.
Reasons Spider Veins Form
Spider veins largely form because of abnormalities with the veins or the circulation in the body. Some people have genetic predispositions that lead to the development of spider veins. Changes in hormone levels or pressure on the legs and abdomen can make spider veins appear worse. Some diseases and physical injuries have also been associated with the appearance of spider veins.
Removing Spider Veins with Laser Therapy
Dr. Sukir Sinnathamby at Varicose to Perfect is a board-certified physician who can help to treat spider veins through laser therapy. This type of therapy uses pulses of energy to seal the visible veins. This causes the spider veins to slowly fade over time until they can no longer be seen. Laser therapy is non-invasive and can be very effective. Not everyone is a good candidate for laser surgery although other treatment options are available.
Treating Spider Veins with Sclerotherapy
Another common treatment that Dr. Sinnathamby can perform for anyone in Springboro, Ohio who is suffering from spider veins is sclerotherapy. This treatment injects a liquid into the spider veins. The fluid actually causes scarring inside the veins. The scarring forces the veins to shrink and eventually collapse. This makes the spider veins nearly invisible over the course of several weeks.
