What causes Spider Veins?

Spider veins result when a capillary is damaged or weakened. Blood pools in the capillary, causing thread-like streaks to appear on the surface of the skin. No one really knows what causes varicose veins and spider veins, but we do know that a combination of factors increase the likelihood of leg vein problems such as: heredity, obesity, pregnancy, hormonal changes, oral contraceptives and standing or sitting for long periods of time.

The laser is only one of the current treatments offered. It is used for small varicose veins and spider veins on the face, chest & legs.

Laser therapy, when used alone, works significantly better on the face and upper body area than on the legs.
