Improving Your Overall Look With Spider Vein Therapy.
If you occasionally avoid displaying your legs due to your spider veins — those tiny clusters of red, blue or purple veins that show up on the thighs, calves and ankles — you are not alone. It’s believed that at least fifty percent of all women are troubled by this common beauty problem.
If you would like to remove your spider veins and enhance your overall look, the licensed Chicago Plastics Surgeons at the Women’s Institute of Cosmetic & Laser Surgery can help. Nowadays, there are very successful, safe and fairly painless techniques available for eliminating spider veins.
For some women, spider veins develop and become visible in their early 20s. For others, the veins may not turn out to be as obvious until they reach their 40s. Men also can get spider veins, too. However, usually they are covered by hair growth on the leg.
There are several factors contribute to the growth of spider veins in the legs, including:
- Heredity
- Hormonal shifts
- Occupations or activities that require prolonged sitting or standing
- Pregnancy
- Weight gain
Is Spider Vein Therapy For Me?
Spider vein therapy is a highly personalized treatment and you should do it for yourself, not for anyone else. Spider vein therapy can be conducted on individuals of any age and is a good option for you if:
- You’re troubled by spider veins anywhere on your body
- You have a positive outlook and realistic goals for your spider vein treatment
- You are committed to following your plastic surgeon’s prescribed course of treatment
