Women are more likely than men to have varicose veins and spider veins. These bundles of noticeable blue streaks are inflamed, warped veins, typically appearing on the legs. Pregnancy, advancing age and being overweight can increase your risk of having problematic veins. If you suffer from these, rid yourself of them with the trusted professionals at New Life Surgical Associates in Jacksonville.
What are Varicose Veins and Spider Veins?
What are they and how do you know if you have them? You’ll know because of their characteristic dark blue or red coloring. Also, larger varicose veins may appear rope-like and make the skin bulge out. While most people think of them as being on the legs, they also can often appear on the thighs and near the ankles and feet.
Spider veins, also called thread veins, are smaller than varicose veins and are usually red. They may be found on the legs or face and look like tree branches or spider webs. These veins can usually be seen under the skin, but usually, they do not make the skin protrude as varicose veins do.
How Can You Remove Them?
Spider veins tend to respond quite well to laser treatment at our office in Jacksonville. These veins are mainly a cosmetic issue and can be ignored if they don’t bother you. But if you’re unhappy with the way they look or if they’re painful, you can do something about them.
If you decide to get rid of your varicose veins and/or spider veins in Jacksonville, you’ll undoubtedly get back the beautiful legs of your youth that you don’t mind showing in your yoga class or in a flirty, short dress. You will not only feel better about your appearance, but you’ll also rid yourself of any discomfort that the veins had caused.
