Spider veins are thin red or blue vascular lesions or veins that can be seen running close to the surface of the skin. Most commonly, they are located on the thighs, knees, calves and ankles. There are a number of factors which contribute to the formation of these unsightly little veins such as trauma to the area, standing for long periods of time, diet, sun exposure and genetic predisposition. There is no cure for spider veins, however they can be managed quite effectively by professionals who are qualified to perform laser vein therapy. The Profile ClearScan™ laser by Sciton, comfortably and effectively treats spider veins – finally, you can dare to go bare!
