Small dilated capillaries on the face, looking like red dots, are a malfunction of the vessels. On legs and hands this problem is hidden under clothes, so people are not in a hurry with treatment, while there are many calls to the doctor - aesthetic discomfort makes itself felt. But such connivance is dangerous! And the removal of spider veins on the legs is not only a cosmetic improvement in appearance. Such stars are a visual sign of a violation of blood flow in the body. Damaged vessels do not function fully and themselves will not return to normal. In addition, if the venous stars on the legs are not treated, physical ailments will appear: swelling, pain, cramps.
Removal of spider veins on the legs or face can be done in several ways, and they are used depending on the stage, location and characteristics of the body. So, take a look and consider everything:
Laser removal
An effective, time-tested method, also called laser coagulation, does not have a negative effect on the skin. Bonding of the affected vessel is carried out using a laser and gives not only a therapeutic, but also a cosmetic effect. A small grid disappears completely, and large formations of blood vessels are significantly reduced and lose their brightness. As a rule, the course of treatment is from 3 to 5 days and is selected individually by a phlebologist.
Photocoagulation
Removing the mesh on open parts (face, neck, chest) without damaging the skin. It is carried out with the help of a device that with one flash will remove stars on an area of 2 sq. see A radio-wave coagulation is a way when an electrode is introduced into the vessels, which narrows them with the help of a radio wave.
Microsclerotherapy
This is a common method for getting rid of stars on the legs and other parts of the body, the essence of which is the introduction of drugs into the vein to glue the walls of the vessel - a solution of sclerosant. Then, to increase the pressure and improve the effectiveness of the procedure, compression knitwear is used: special stockings, knee-high socks or elastic bandages. The procedure is carried out with a thin needle that leaves no residue and is completely painless. The conditions are outpatient, that is, the patient is not in the hospital, but is sent home on the same day. Removal of spider veins on the legs, hands or face in this way will require several injections of the drug (from 2 to 10), depending on the stage of the disease, and will require restrictions on physical activity.
Fine sclerotherapy
A type of microsclerotherapy method, the main difference of which is that sclerosant is used in the form of foam with air bubbles and is able to cover a large area of the affected vessel or vein. Removal of spider veins on the legs is absolutely safe, since the air does not penetrate further, but is completely dissolved in the medicine at the injection site.
As you can see, to solve the issue of removal is not a problem, the phlebologist will tell you the best method. And as a preventive measure, you can advise taking a contrast shower and consuming vitamins to strengthen the walls of blood vessels.
