What are spider veins and how do we treat them?
Telangiectasias or thread veins, more commonly known as spider veins, are a cluster of dilated blood vessels close to the surface of the skin. Due to this position they can often become visible in which can cause many people to take action in reducing them.
People who sit down for long periods of time are more likely to develop spider veins compared to people who are more active. They are also more common as we age and become apparent in pregnancy due to hormonal changes within the body. Other causes include sunlight damage and injury.
At Klnik we offer a number of treatments which can reduce the appearance of spider veins. These include:
Sclerotherapy - a substance is injected in which causes them to shrink.
Laser - this causes the deterioration of the vessels by the use of laser light pulses.

Before and After
Frequently Asked Questions
-
It is important to keep the face cool for 24-48 hours post treatment. This includes avoiding exercise, steam rooms, and generally any heat on the face. Mils products can be applied. However, retinols, AHA's, glycolic acid and hydroquinone should be avoided for a minimum 3 days after the procedure.
Sun cream must be worn daily, and sun should generally be avoided on the area long term to reduce the chance of their return.
-
Vessels can appear darker during and after the session as the blood coagulates. With KLNIK's cryocooler and gel applied to the skin most clients do not need any additional numbing or pain relief. The vessels can take a few weeks to be reabsorbed by the body, but typically this is instant and vessels disappear during the session, The skin can be sensitive post treatment so it's best to avoid heat and strong products for several days. Makeup can be applied after the session but It is better to wait until the pores are closed and the skin has cooled down. Side effects are extremely rare, however some vessels can cause very small blisters and bruising.
