SPIDER VEINS TREATMENT IN DUBAI

Spider veins are small, thin veins that can appear near the skin’s surface in various colours, such as red, blue or purple, and they are mostly found in the legs. They are clusters of damaged small blood vessels that branch out from a central point, resulting in a spiderweb-like appearance, hence the name. Spider veins do not generally cause any significant medical symptoms, but people do search remedies for their removal primarily for aesthetic reasons.

SYMPTOMS OF SPIDER VEINS

Spider veins do not generally cause any harm; however, some people can experience minor symptoms, which include:

Burning or itching
Swelling or discomfort after long periods of standing or sitting
Unappealing visible web-like veins

The causes of spider veins can be due to:

Ageing: the ageing process causes veins to lose elasticity, which in turn makes them more prone to dilatation
Prolonged standing or sitting can contribute to their formation
Obesity: excess weight can put additional pressure on the veins
Genetics: family history of spider veins raises the likelihood of developing them

THE PROCEDURES: CUTERA EXCEL V, OZONE THERAPY and SCLEROTHERAPY

Treatment options that are offered at Cornerstone Clinic include Cutera Excel V, ozone therapy and sclerotherapy for targeting spider veins.

Cutera Excel V laser system is the cutting-edge technology used to treat vascular issues such as spider veins. The technique offered is non-invasive and specifically targets the afflicted veins. The laser emits light wavelengths that will be absorbed by the blood in the veins. As a result, the blood coagulates, and the veins collapse so that the body can reabsorb the damaged veins, leaving the skin clear.

Ozone therapy is a medical procedure that has recently become more utilised in the medical field due to its therapeutic and restorative effects. It uses a controlled administration of ozone (a gas made up of 3 oxygen molecules) to promote health advantages by increasing oxygen in the body. This procedure has proven to have positive results in reducing the appearance of spider veins as well as reducing associated swelling, tingling, fatigue and heaviness in the legs.

Sclerotherapy involves the injection of a special solution into the veins to make them collapse and, therefore, be less visible over time because the body will absorb the treated veins, and the blood that was present in said veins is rerouted into other healthier veins.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPIDER VEINS AND VARICOSE VEINS

The main difference between these vascular issues is that varicose veins are the result of underlying venous insufficiency, meaning that the valves are not functioning correctly, whereas spider veins are not related to venous insufficiency. They also differ in appearance; spider veins are much smaller and form a web-like structure, whereas varicose veins are large, twisted, rope-like and raised veins that can be felt beneath the skin.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF REMOVING SPIDER VEINS

The major advantage of eliminating spider veins is to be for aesthetic reasons and, therefore, feeling better in your own skin. Many people with spider veins are self-conscious and feel uncomfortable wearing clothes that expose these veins, and these removal methods result in smoother, younger-looking skin. Treating spider veins can also improve blood circulation, especially for those who have circulatory problems, as well as removing any physical discomfort that they may cause.

AM I SUITABLE FOR THE TREATMENT

The treatments offered are considered safe and suitable for most individuals, however, it is important to acquire the opinion of a healthcare professional who will assess the patient’s medical history and if the spider veins will benefit from one procedure more than the other. Patients who are currently pregnant may need to postpone the treatment because hormonal changes can affect the outcome. Patients who have certain medical conditions, such as blood clotting disorder, may not be suitable to undergo treatment.

PREVENTION OF SPIDER VEINS

Preventing spider veins involves multiple changes in normal everyday life, such as:

maintaining a stable weight, which will reduce excess pressure on the veins
avoiding sitting or standing for long periods of time
exercise to improve circulation and muscle tone
