Also addressed as thread veins these are unsightly in nature and there are many treatments available to improve or correct them. The medical term for them is Telangiectasia and they are not actually broken just slightly enlarged, these unsightly veins affect the self esteem of beings. More women get spider veins than men, and most women find they have a few of them by the time they hit 30 years old. They often appear during pregnancy, and may be linked to hormonal activity. Obesity is also a risk factor which may increase the likelihood of spider veins.
They don’t possess any health risk only cosmetic problem which can be corrected with cosmetic surgery. If you are self-conscious about them you can improve their appearance with available laser options. IPL laser is the best suited option to correct spider veins, IPL devices can produce different types of pulsed light. Lasers produce light of a single wavelength (colour), which allows them to target a greater number of skin and vein problems. The IPL device emits pulses of light. When these light pulses strike the skin, some of the light energy is converted to heat. How much heat is generated and in which parts of the skin depend upon the wavelengths of light included in the pulses.
Another veins related problem is varicose veins, unlike spider veins this condition is painful and occurs when your veins become enlarged, dilated, and overfilled with blood. Varicose veins typically appear swollen and raised, and have a bluish-purple or red colour. The condition is very common, especially in women. Around 25 percent of all adults have varicose veins.
