Spider Vein Prevention

Spider veins can be unsightly, bright red lines that distract from your otherwise beautiful face. Once they appear, they are too prominent to be ignored, so it would be ideal to stop them before they start.

One important thing you can do to prevent spider veins is to do the best possible thing for your skin and avoid undue sun exposure. When you do spend time in the sun, make sure you use an appropriate sunscreen. In addition, quickly treating inflammatory conditions of the face, such as acne rosacea, can reduce your risk of developing spider veins.

Unfortunately, the two main variables that predict the appearance of spider veins are genetics and age, neither of which are currently remediable. Although a number of surprising technologies are being developed every day, waiting on genetic engineering and time machines does not seem a promising option.

Instead, the spider veins themselves can be treated once they begin to appear using a number of different technologies, including laser vein removal, IPL, and photorejuvenation. All these techniques are superior to more traditional sclerotherapy primarily in the speed of treatments.
