Spider Veins: Symptoms, Causes and Treatments
Reduce the appearance of spider veins with advanced IPL treatments at Elevate Medical Aesthetics. Achieve clearer, healthier-looking skin with our personalised care.
What are Spider Veins?
Spider veins are small, visible blood vessels that appear as purple or red lines beneath the surface of the skin. Although harmless, they can make individuals feel self-conscious about their appearance.
At Elevate Medical Aesthetics in Yorkshire, we offer advanced treatments, such as Lumecca IPL, to effectively reduce the appearance of spider veins and restore clearer, healthier-looking skin.
Symptoms of Spider Veins
Thin, visible red or purple lines on the face.
Spiderweb-like patterns near the surface of the skin.
Most commonly found around the nose, cheeks, and chin.
Visible discolouration without associated pain.
Causes of Spider Veins
Ageing: Loss of skin elasticity makes veins more visible.
Sun Exposure: Prolonged UV exposure thins the skin and damages blood vessels.
Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations during pregnancy or menopause can trigger vein dilation.
Genetics: A family history of spider or varicose veins increases the likelihood.
Lifestyle Factors: Physical inactivity, obesity, or prolonged sitting or standing may contribute.
