How Can I treat my spider veins?

This web site from the Cleveland Clinic has the answer to your question.

Scleroderma therapy is very effective, mostly painless and the results are immediate and lasting. Your dermatologist uses an extremely fine needle and saline solution which she injects into the veins. However, not every knot of spider veins will clear, and you may , in time, get more spider veins.

Creams containing vitamin K seem to work well for some, you might give them a try as well. Good luck!

A treatment known as sclerotherapy is very helpful in minimizing or getting rid of spider veins. It is very effective and a condition you should not worry to much about.

So far, sclerotherapy is the safest, quickest, and the least painful method of getting rid of spider veins. The very small veins and facial spider veins are best treated with lasers. Sclerotherapy injections should not be performed on facial spider veins.

For spider veins Sclerotherapy is the most effective and safest vein solution. This is an injection treatment which is used to eliminate "spider" veins and small to medium-size varicose veins.

IPL and Nd:Yag laser are one of the best spider veins removal techniques. The IPL can achieve optimal results in treating superficial veins, while the Nd:YAG Laser is ideal for targeting a variety of deeper vessels. Usually 1 to 4 treatments are necessary to achieve full clearance of face veins or leg veins.

Spider veins, also known medically as telangiectasia or venulectasias, are the mildest manifestation of venous insufficiency, similar to varicose veins but smaller. They are small, often tangled groups of tiny blood vessels just under the skin surface that frequently resemble spider webs or tree branches. They are generally red, blue or purple and are clearly visible, usually on the thighs, lower legs and face.

Spider veins can sometimes cover large areas of skin, but they are a cosmetic problem only, rarely causing physical symptoms. At least a third of all women and a smaller percentage of men are believed to display the condition. Spider veins are capillaries, thin vessels directly connected with the larger venous system, and like varicose veins they are caused by venous reflux.

Spider veins may be isolated or associated with "feeder" veins or with larger underlying varicose veins, but they are not varicose veins? They do not bulge above the skin surface and do not require medical treatment. Spider veins can be diagnosed merely by sight.

They tend to take on one of three characteristic patterns? A "sunburst" or spider-web pattern radiating outward from a central point, a "tree-branch" pattern, or a "matting" or linear pattern that may be nothing more than a set of thin lines. Even in the absence of physical discomfort, some physicians observing spider veins prefer to conduct ultrasound exams to determine the extent of the problem and the underlying causes of the condition.

Risk factors for spider veins are similar to those for varicose veins? Age, heredity, pregnancy, hormonal changes, obesity and extended periods of standing? As well as sun exposure, particularly in fair-skinned people, and injuries to the skin surface.

Some physicians believe that exercise, weight loss and the wearing of support hose and flat shoes instead of high heels can reduce the incidence of spider veins.

Varicose veins or spider veins - there is very little that can be done to prevent from occurring although there is a lot that can be done to make them disappear in a virtually painless manner through sclerotherapy.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
