Spider Vein Removal in Chino
About half of all women, and nearly half of all men, suffer from spider veins or varicose spider veins. While the condition is common, it can vary greatly in severity and location upon the body. Spider veins can be found covering large areas of the body, such as your legs, or may appear only in tiny clusters on your face. They are common in people who exposed their skin to too much sun in their younger years.
While nearly always harmless, spider veins are generally considered unsightly. As you age, you might find that they worsen in appearance, and begin to bother you even more. They can be caused by numerous factors such as:
- aging – superficial veins weaken and become more visible
- heredity – spider veins often run in families
- pregnancy – the body carries more fluid during pregnancy, causing veins in the lower extremities to distend. Spider veins may worsen with each subsequent pregnancy.
- hormone changes due to menopause
- obesity – excess weight puts more pressure on veins
- sedentary lifestyle – when you sit too long for work, or choose not to exercise regularly, spider veins may result. They tend to be worse in the legs, especially if you sit with your legs crossed or bent.
- Excessive sun exposure – in particular, this will cause spider veins to develop on the nose and cheeks
It is extremely rare for spider veins to cause health problems, but they can be uncomfortable due to itching and throbbing. And of course, most people simply do not appreciate the appearance of spider veins, and want to return to a smoother, more even skin tone.
