What causes spider veins?
Spider veins are formed by an increase in blood pressure. The body releases the pressure by forcing blood into veins on the surface of the skin.

In the skin condition known as rosacea the cheeks and nose flush easily and over time turn permanently red. This condition is also associated with pimples and spots in addition to facial veins.

While spider veins and flushed skin do not normally indicate a major medical problem, most sufferers are keen to get rid of them with a facial vein removal procedure. Spider veins have an unsightly appearance that can affect the confidence of sufferers, but can also cause a great deal of physical pain in some cases.
How are spider veins treated?
Before any treatment is carried out, Surgicare will invite you in for a private consultation with a skilled doctor who can carry out facial vein removal. As part of the consultation, the doctor will create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your individual skin condition.

Normally, only 2 or 3 treatments with our special laser are required in order to reduce the redness and visibility of the veins. Your doctor will also provide you with advice on protecting your skin to reduce the chance of more spider veins developing in the future.
How does facial vein removalwork?
Facial vein removal works by using a laser to deliver precise dosages of energy to each vein. By carefully targeting the individual areas, there is minimal risk to the surrounding skin.

The laser is a precision instrument that delivers the energy through a special hand piece directly to the targeted vein. The tissues of the vein absorb the energy causing it to die off. Over a short period of time the vessel is then absorbed by the body.
How long do the results last?
The treatments that Surgicare use for facial vein removal are permanent, and once a particular vein or vessel has been destroyed, it will never return. However, the treatment is unable to prevent the development of additional veins in the future.

Some patients could see new facial veins in the future, especially if they do not take care to protect their skin against harmful exposure to the sun. in order to minimise the risk of facial veins returning, Surgicare recommend that everyone uses sunscreen to protect their skin.
