Spider Veins
Spider veins are small, red or purple veins visible directly beneath the skin’s surface. Commonly found on the face, thighs, calves, ankles, and behind the knees, these stubborn and unsightly veins have no essential function. Predisposing factors for enlarged veins include: heredity, hormones/pregnancy, prolonged standing, age and skin type.

• Laser Vein Removal works to treat spider veins by using light energy. This energy is absorbed by the blood in the vessels, causing the blood to coagulate and the vessel to collapse. The body then absorbs the remnants in 4-8 weeks. On average, 2 to 4 treatments are needed for optimal results. At Illuminations we will help you determine the best and safest treatment for your vein size and skin type.
