Telangiectasias: How To Say Goodbye To These Unsightly Spider Veins

Apr 04, 2024
Telangiectasias, or spider veins, are not harmful or painful, but they can affect your appearance, especially when they occur on the face, neck and chest. Cosmetic treatment with specialized Candela laser therapy can help eliminate these veins and restore your appearance. But, first, it is important to know more about telangiectasias and the different types in order to get the most from your treatment and have the right expectations.

What Are Telangiectasias?
Telangiectasias, also known as thread or spider veins, are damaged capillaries and small veins near the skin's surface. These veins become damaged when the valves within them weaken, causing blood to accumulate within the vein. This accumulation causes the veins to spread in a web-like pattern.

The smaller capillaries, often found on the face, are most commonly red while damaged small veins are blue or purple and often larger in size. In most cases, telangiectasias do not cause symptoms and can occur as a normal part of aging, during pregnancy, after significant sun exposure, after a trauma to the area, or alongside varicose veins. Telangiectasias do not cause any medical concern, however, they can affect your appearance and often leave many feeling self-conscious. 

How Does Candela GentleMax Remove Spider Veins
Candela GentleMax is a laser system that produces an intense burst of light to target the blood vessels that create spider veins. Candela GentleMax works best on targeting those with a blue or purple tint. This laser treatment can address the red capillaries and vessels found on the face and neck. The laser eliminates the unsightly veins without causing damage to the surrounding skin. 

It works by delivering intense bursts of light into the blood vessels, dissolving them, and allowing the body to reabsorb and eliminate them, leaving behind smooth skin without the red spider webs. In addition to spider veins, GentleMax can also address redness, age spots, sun spots, wrinkles, and acne all in one treatment!

If you have unsightly spider veins on your face, neck and chest, laser treatments can help eliminate these troublesome veins and restore beautiful, smooth skin.
