Both men and women suffer from unsightly veins, however women tend to be more prone to venous abnormalities; it has been estimated that over twenty-five per cent of adult females are currently suffering with some type of vein problem.
Whether man or woman, or whether suffering with spider or varicose veins, know that there are several treatments currently available that can help to diminish their appearance with lasting results. In order to choose the treatment that is right for you, it is first essential that you determine exactly which type of vein disorder you have.
There Are Two Main Types Of Veins Most People Want Treated
The two main types of vein disorders are spider veins and varicose veins. Spider veins, also known as telangiectasias, are the small, thin red and purple veins that lie very close to the surface of the skin and are prevalent on both the face and the legs. These veins keep their color because they are still connected to the deeper venous system, however because they are damaged, they serve no purpose and therefore can be removed without altering normal vein function.
There are several causes for these small, spider like veins to appear and some of the most common are hereditary, sun damage, trauma, certain medications and certain disease processes.
Non-Invasive Treatment For Veins
Laser vein removal can be used to treat spider veins and some smaller varicose veins. The laser energy targets and cauterizes the veins, effectively cutting off the blood supply.
Once blood is no longer supplied to the vein, it will be naturally absorbed and expelled by the body. Smaller varicose veins (those that are 3mm and less in diameter) can be treated with this method, but larger veins will require other treatment options.

Through an advanced technique called diathermy we can target fine veins that you may find unsightly. Diathermy uses an electrical current to produce heat. This heat is used to cauterise (seal or coagulate) tissue and blood vessels.
About Vascular Lesions and Prominent Veins
Vascular lesions are a concentration or enlargement of fine blood vessels. The medical term for these lesions is Telangiectases.
By gently heating the spider veins with a thin diathermy probe, the collagen fibers that form the veins are denatured and the veins coagulate beneath the skin. The remnants beneath the skin are then broken down by the body and eliminated.
Diathermy can successfully treat smaller dialated blood vessels without injuring the surrounding healthy skin. For larger Telangiectases laser is the preferred means of treatment.
