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
