As a person ages, there are many different things that indicate the presence of age on their skin. For example, people who are frequently out in the sun build up lots of melanin over time, and the result is lots of irregular skin pigmentation. But various skin problems can also occur because of circulatory problems.
So, when a person (most likely a female) finds that she has developed spider veins on her legs, medical technology has provided various spider vein treatment options. In order to gain a better understanding of the spider vein treatment options that are available, it is important to understand how a spider vein is caused in the first place.
If a woman has poor circulation because of pressure that was placed on her veins, then the blood becomes forced through the veins, and the veins become visible through the upper epidermal layers. So, there are two main kinds of spider vein treatment options.
The first, and most commonly used form of spider vein treatment is in the form of medicinal injections known as sclerotherapy. After several treatment sessions, the circulation should return to normal. Laser treatments are also available for more severe cases of spider veins to stimulate proper blood flow again as well.
The kind of treatment that is available to a person will depend on several factors. Thus, it is important for the person to find a certified and reputable dermatologist. During a consultation sessions, the dermatologist will evaluate the veins, and then together with the patient discuss the treatment options.
