SPIDER VEINS

Spider veins are small, dilated blood vessels that appear close to the surface of the skin, often seen on the legs, and can be red, purple, or bluish in color. They don’t typically cause symptoms but may sometimes lead to burning, itching, or discomfort, especially in the legs. Broken capillaries, on the other hand, are also enlarged blood vessels, but they tend to be smaller, red, and are usually found on the face or chest. Factors such as genetic features, sun exposure, and even actions like sneezing can contribute to their appearance.

Individuals often seek treatments for spider veins or broken capillaries to improve their skin’s appearance, as these dilated vessels can be visually unappealing. The leading procedures for addressing broken capillaries include vascular lasers and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments, which are recommended by dermatological experts for their efficacy. At RejuvenateMD we use brand leader Lumecca, an IPL device to minimize or diminish spider veins & broken capilleries.
