Leg Veins- Spider & Reticular
Overview
Leg veins are a common vascular condition that occurs when the valves inside the veins weaken, causing blood to pool and put pressure on the vein walls. This pressure can lead to the veins becoming enlarged, weakened, and more visible over time.
Spider veins on the legs are smaller, thread-like veins that can appear red, blue, or purple. They may be triggered by hormonal changes (such as during pregnancy), injury, genetics, age, or prolonged standing. These veins often become more noticeable as the skin ages and loses elasticity.
Varicose veins, on the other hand, are larger, twisted veins that usually appear on the legs. They present as thick, bulging blue or purple veins that can be felt under the skin. These require medical attention and should be assessed and treated by a vascular specialist.
Treatments for Leg Veins- Spider & Reticular
Spider and reticular veins on the body can be effectively treated using our Cutera Excel V+ laser system, which targets and reduces the appearance of visible veins for a clearer, more even skin tone.
A Leg vein Consultation is essential to assess the veins in detail, determine your suitability for treatment, and explain how the procedure works.
During this consultation, we can also organise a patch test to ensure safety and effectiveness before proceeding.
