Spider veins, are quite common, especially among the aging female population. According to The National Women’s Health Information Center, as many as 60% of all American women and men suffer from some form of vein disorder. Women, however, are more affected by 50%.

41% of women in their 50s, in fact, suffer from abnormal leg veins.

Causes:

A number of factors may trigger the appearance of spider veins, including:

• Heredity
• Excess sun exposure
• Pregnancy
• Weight gain
• Certain medications
• Taking birth control pills/ hormones
• Prolonged standing
• Traumatizing the skin via a hard pinch, for example

Spider veins can easily be treated at Belleza Med Spa with our top of the line Cynosure laser. Typically treatments take about 15 minutes and once a vein has been exposed to the laser 80% of patients don’t have to have that vein re-treated. Our procedure is non-invasive, so the skin’s surface is not disturbed. Down time and post treatment care is minimal and the results are really great. Spring is almost here and we all want to show off our smooth clear legs!! Call us for more information at 505.897.4433

Tip# 1: When cleansing the skin take the time to do it twice! Simply moisten your skin, message cleanser on face, neck and décolleté for about 1 minute, then rinse and repeat. This simple little step will prove to provide you with better quality skin in no time. By cleansing the face twice you are sure to remove all excess dirt and oil and help improve skin cell turn over. Healthy skin cell turnover results in less dead skin cell build up, fewer breaks out, refined wrinkles and your pores will appear smaller. In addition, your other skin care products will be able to perform better because they won’t have to work as hard to penetrate the skin!

Tip #2: Apply sunscreen every day, even if you spend most of your time indoors. Exposure to the sun can cause long term damage to the skin even when it doesn’t result in sunburn. The rays that do the most long term damage are able to pass through windows, windshields and are even present on overcast days. So just because you don’t get a sunburn doesn’t mean you’re not being affected. The easiest way is to find a moisturizer for the daytime that already has a SPF of 30 or greater. Broad Spectrum Sunscreen is the best and of course if you know you will be out in the elements wear a SPF of 45 or greater!

Tip#3: Out with the old in with the new! Don’t keep your skin care products for more than 6 mos. Most of the products that are available come in reasonable sizes that are designed to last about 4 mos. In addition to being sized to last about 4 mos, most of our products oxidize. Meaning they lose their effectiveness each time they are exposed to air. So your half full moisturizer that has been in your medicine cabinet for over a year isn’t half as good as when you bought it. When purchasing a new skincare product use it!
