Spider veins (or scientifically telangiectasia or rosacea) are persistent dilatations of small blood vessels in the skin that do not have an inflammatory cause and manifest themselves in the form of venous manifestations visible through the skin of the body, reminiscent of a cobweb or mesh. The appearance of such manifestations may be red, blue or purple

Spider veins. Is it dangerous?

Spider veins themselves are not a disease that poses any danger or threat to the life and health of the patient. In some cases, spider veins may be accompanied by pain and swelling at the site of their localization, and only this brings physical inconvenience to the patient.

Often, such manifestations are considered to be exclusively a cosmetic defect, and many do not pay attention to them. But in reality, this approach is not entirely correct. Manifestations in the form of changes in the smallest vessels are an alarming sign. The fact is that the appearance of spider veins (rosacea) indicates that a person begins to change in the elasticity of the capillary walls, and if at the first stage, visible manifestations are noticeable only on small capillaries, this does not mean at all that similar changes do not occur in more large veins (which are stronger and more elastic by default)

Important!!!

The reason for the appearance of spider veins is a violation of venous circulation and changes in the elasticity of the capillary walls. The appearance of spider veins does NOT ALWAYS indicate the existence of post-thrombotic or varicose pathology. Likewise, and vice versa, the presence of diagnosed varicose veins does not mean that spider veins may appear.

If you observe manifestations of spider veins on your body, we recommend that you consult a doctor for advice and an accurate diagnosis.

Who gets spider veins?

Spider veins appear in both women and men. In women, spider veins appear much more often (about twice as many). Typically, women react more often to the appearance of spider veins, since such a defect on the skin irritates them and they want to get rid of it, regardless of the reasons for its appearance, while men react to these manifestations much less often, not paying due attention to it or not at all. ignoring.

Causes of spider veins

According to statistics, from 20 to 30% of the adult population of the planet have spider veins. Women are predominantly affected by this disease; in 80% of cases, the cause of spider veins in women is pregnancy and childbirth.

Other reasons for the appearance of spider veins include:

• Hereditary predisposition
• Postponed birth

• As a result of the use of hormonal drugs (including hormonal contraceptives)
• Upon the onset of menopause (menopause)
• long-term venous insufficiency
• Decreased tone of the vessel walls (including age-related)

• High stress on the legs due to prolonged wearing of high heels
• Professional working conditions (standing work)
• Excessive passion for baths and saunas
• Abuse of sunbathing (including solariums)

Rehabilitation period - how to care for your skin

No special skin care is required during the recovery period. In the first week, the skin may be drier than usual, but this is within normal limits. Within 14 days after deletion you cannot:

Go to the bathhouse, steam your face;

Do strength exercises;

Sunbathe, including in the solarium.

All of the above can dilate blood vessels, which reduces the effectiveness of laser treatment

If you come across a review that the laser did not remove the spider vein, consider several factors:

• Not all vessels “go away” after one session;
• The technology of the procedure may have been violated;
• The patient may not have followed the doctors' advice.

We guarantee our patients comfortable rehabilitation and controlled results, subject to the recommendations of our specialists.

Types of spider veins

By origin:

Venous

In case the width of their threads exceeds 0.02 mm

Arterial

Arterial spider veins are usually red in color. Mostly, arterial spider veins diverge from the main arteriole in different directions and have an appearance somewhat similar to a spider

Capillary

Spider veins most often appear on the nose and cheeks and appear as reddish or purple stars in a linear or tree-like pattern

Classification of spider veins according to external manifestation:

Spot

Pinpoint spider veins are manifestations expressed as a single element of a vein or capillary that is visible through the skin. It is often not very large in size and can sometimes be perceived as a mole, only of a slightly different color. In large quantities, they can combine into large red spots

Tree-like

A tree-shaped spider vein is a manifestation in the form of a “sprout” of a vein, from which capillaries diverge in one direction. In appearance it resembles a plant with roots or a branch. Most often they are blue in color.

Arachnids

Spider veins are manifestations in the form of a single arteriole, from which spider veins diverge in different directions. Unlike the tree-like manifestation of spider veins, here the discrepancies do not have one distinct direction of “movement”, but diverge in different directions. Spider veins visually resemble a spider with many legs. Most often red.

Linear

Linear spider veins appear as small stripes, often in one direction. Visually, linear spider veins are similar to the appearance of postpartum stretch marks on the abdomen. They are found in both blue and red colors and usually appear on the cheeks and nose.

There are many external manifestations of spider veins, and a person can experience several types of manifestations of spider veins at once. But you shouldn’t be scared, the treatment for spider veins is the same.

Places of appearance (localization) of spider veins

Such formations can appear on any part of the body

More often

1. On the face (this disease is also called rosacea), spider veins mainly form on the cheeks and wings of the nose

2. On your feet. A fairly common place for spider veins to appear. Mostly appear just above the knee

A little less often

1. On hands. Quite rare, but they can also appear

2. On the neck and back

How does rosacea manifest itself?

As a rule, this is a completely painless problem that causes only aesthetic discomfort. However, some patients may complain of intermittent itching or burning sensation in the area of ​​the affected vessels.

Sometimes spider veins on the face appear against the background of liver disease . In this case, this may be accompanied by yellowing of the skin, sclera and mucous membranes, as well as lightening of stool and darkening of urine.

If rosacea develops against the background of autoimmune pathologies and connective tissue diseases, then this is accompanied by inflammatory processes and damage to large vessels.

Spider vein removal

As we said above, for most people, the presence of manifestations of spider veins is not dangerous, and for the most part they bring aesthetic discomfort. In any case, if you find spider veins on your body, legs or face, we recommend that you consult a doctor who can make an accurate diagnosis and find out the cause of the appearance of spider veins. And only after this, together with the doctor, make decisions regarding their treatment.

As we have already indicated, the cause of the appearance of spider veins can also be the presence of possible diseases that need to be treated, and only after completing the necessary course of treatment and stopping the cause of their appearance, can spider veins be removed

To begin with, having found out the true cause of the appearance of spider veins, it is worth eliminating this very cause, for example: reduce the time of sunbathing or visiting a solarium, reduce the time of wearing high heels, stop smoking or drinking alcohol, and take care of weight loss

There are several ways to remove spider veins

Sclerotherapy for spider veins

One of the most common methods of treating spider veins. The essence of the method is that a slecrosant solution is injected into a vein using a thin needle. The incoming medicine begins to act on the inner surface of the vessels, gluing them together. The stars disappear after about 1-2 months. The scar that appears resolves within a year.

Advantages of the method. The advantage is the low invasiveness and easy tolerability of the procedure.

Disadvantages of the method. Among the disadvantages of the method, one can highlight unpleasant effects in the form of redness and swelling of the treated area, the need to wear compression bandages or stockings for some time after the procedure

This method is used primarily to remove spider veins on the legs. Sclerotherapy is especially effective against venous spider veins, while capillary vascular changes are practically unaffected by it

Laser removal of spider veins

The laser method of removing spider veins is the most popular today. The essence of the method is that through the use of a laser beam and its absorption by damaged vessels, the vessels are soldered (glued together). The laser generates radiation of a special frequency, to which only damaged vessels respond

Advantages of the laser spider vein removal method. The method is absolutely painless. The result is noticeable immediately. No injury to the skin or treated surface. Deleted asterisks are not returned. There is no risk of damage to healthy tissue. Healing occurs without pain, swelling and the formation of any scars. For a number of spider veins (not large ones), one procedure is sufficient. High speed of the procedure. No contact with healthy tissue

Disadvantages of the laser spider vein removal method. Large spider veins may require multiple treatments. The method is contraindicated for use during pregnancy, lactation and individual intolerance

Electrocoagulation of spider veins

The essence of the method is local cauterization of spider veins with high-frequency current. A thin electrode is inserted into the damaged vessel, through which a current discharge passes and destroys the affected part of the vessel.

Advantages of the method. Speed ​​and efficiency of the procedure

Disadvantages of the method. An extremely painful procedure. Possibility of burns, scars, pigmentation or depigmentation of the treated surface. Possibility of damage to healthy tissue. Electrical damage is caused not only to damaged blood vessels, but also to the skin itself. This method is not suitable for removing spider veins on the face

Ozone therapy for spider veins

The technique of ozone therapy is essentially similar to sclerotherapy. The essence of the method is that an ozone-oxygen mixture is introduced into a vessel through a needle, resulting in oxidation of the walls of the vessel, followed by gluing them together.

Advantages of the method. This method does not cause burns, scars or age spots. There are no side effects and does not require long rehabilitation

Disadvantages of the method. The procedure is quite uncomfortable. Multiple treatments may be required to remove spider veins

Used to remove spider veins on the legs

Radio wave removal of spider veins

Spider veins are removed in a non-contact manner. The essence of the method is a non-contact incision and subsequent coagulation of blood vessels.

Advantages of the method. Painless. Healing occurs without pain, swelling and the formation of any scars. The likelihood of damage to nearby tissues is minimal. In some cases, one procedure is enough

Disadvantages of the method / High cost. Applicable only when removing small capillaries

Places of education

Formations of this kind can appear on absolutely any part of the body. However, there are several of the most common areas of their occurrence:

• wings of the nose;
• cheeks;
• feet;
• ankles;
• anterior surface of the lower leg;
• popliteal region;
• middle third of the outer thigh.

Pathological formations can also, in rare cases, appear on the back, neck and arms. However, it is important to remember that, regardless of where the skin defects in the form of a vascular network are formed, it is necessary to consult a doctor in a timely manner. He will conduct an examination, on the basis of which it will be possible to determine their nature, make a diagnosis and prescribe treatment. If you leave SZ that appears on the human body without attention, you can provoke the development of more serious diseases of the venous system.

It is recommended to exclude any forms of self-medication in order to prevent an increase in the affected area of ​​the SZ. You can count on a positive result only in case of therapy according to the recommendations and under the supervision of a professional doctor.

On foot

The appearance of telangiectasia on the legs in most cases may go unnoticed due to the absence of pain or another form of manifestation of its occurrence. This can lead to the pathology developing into an advanced form. As a result, swelling and a feeling of heaviness will appear in the lower extremities. If you ignore these manifestations of pathological disorders, the condition will noticeably worsen.

In fact, the formation of a defect in the legs is the first and quite serious sign of problems with blood vessels. The branches can vary in color and shape and are located on the lower limbs in groups or parallel to each other. Don't assume that the problem will solve itself. Treatment of spider veins on the legs should be carried out under the supervision of an experienced phlebologist. In honey you can definitely find qualified help in eliminating telangiectasia.

On the face

The vascular network on the skin in different areas of the face, otherwise called rosacea, is a signal of weakened and brittle blood vessels. As a rule, this defect appears on dry and sensitive skin. It is worth noting that eliminating this aesthetic imperfection is quite difficult.

Cuperosis is a cosmetic imperfection that occurs due to dilation of blood vessels, which can be traced through the skin in the form of cobwebs or stars. In most cases, imperfections appear on the chin, cheeks, and wings of the nose as a result of the loss of elasticity of the vessels under the influence of stress. This leads to stagnation of blood and their expansion.

Dermatologists distinguish the following stages of rosacea:

• The first
  , manifested in the form of irritation due to prolonged exposure to an environment with high air temperatures and dry air. In this case, it is appropriate to talk about the local nature of the problem.
• The second
  , in which dilated capillaries located in the vicinity begin to merge into a single network. This stage is characterized by a brighter color of the vessels.
• The third
  , characterized by a greater severity of the capillary network and redness.
• Fourth
  . At this stage, not only small vessels, but also all other vessels on the face are susceptible to pathological effects. This leads to the appearance of areas of local blanching of the skin and clearly visible capillaries.

Rehabilitation after spider vein removal

After removal of spider veins on the body or face, there is no need to stay in the hospital. Some methods may require the use of compression bandages or stockings. In general, the tips and recommendations are quite simple and easy to apply. Be sure to check with your doctor for recommendations on what should be done and what should not be done, and for how long.

General rules after spider vein removal:

• Refrain from visiting baths and saunas
• Avoid visiting solariums and sunbathing
• Cancel massage on any part of the body
• Refrain from tearing off “scabs” after the spider vein removal procedure (applicable for a number of methods)
• Apply a special cream as prescribed by your doctor.
• Reduce physical activity
• Avoid certain cosmetic procedures

Is it possible to cure rosacea on the face with cream?

The answer is no.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to completely get rid of rosacea with the help of cosmetics, masks, folk remedies, exercises or self-massage - the dilated vessel will not disappear and will continue to show through under the skin. Dermatovenerologist Alexander Prokofiev, medical expert of the La Roche-Posay brand.

The spider veins are removed in the clinic using special equipment. Cosmetics can soothe sensitive skin, relieve redness, and prevent the appearance of new stars and the expansion of existing ones. Cosmetics only mask the manifestation of rosacea, improve microcirculation and prevent the situation from getting worse.
