Vein care focuses on treating visible veins and underlying circulation issues to improve both appearance and vascular health. Over time, weakened vein walls and poor blood flow can lead to conditions like spider veins and varicose veins, which may cause discomfort or cosmetic concerns. Vascular treatments target these issues by reducing vein visibility, enhancing circulation, and supporting overall vein function for healthier, more even-toned skin.
∙ Reduce the appearance of vascular issues ∙ Improve circulation and support vein function ∙ Reduce discomfort, heaviness and swelling ∙ Lower the risk of vein-related health issues
Vein issues are not uncommon and can be found in up to 20% of adults, generally affecting women more frequently than men.
Vein conditions develop when blood flow is disrupted, leading to visible or raised veins on the skin’s surface. Spider veins are small, thread-like red or blue veins caused by weakened blood vessels, while varicose veins are larger, swollen veins that can lead to discomfort or heaviness in the legs. Poor circulation, genetics, and lifestyle factors often contribute to these concerns. While commonly found on the legs, visible veins can appear anywhere on the body.
During pregnancy, the growing uterus exerts pressure on pelvic veins and leg veins, significantly impeding venous return and causing blood to pool in the lower limbs. This increased venous pressure, combined with hormonal changes that weaken vein walls and affect the function of one-way valves, can result in the development of new varicose veins or spider veins, particularly on the legs and ankles. The risk of swollen veins, venous insufficiency, and related symptoms like leg swelling or a heavy feeling is also heightened during this time.
The leg muscles, particularly the calf muscles, are essential in driving venous blood back to the heart through a process often referred to as the “calf muscle pump.” This mechanism relies on the contraction of these muscles to counteract gravity and maintain proper blood flow. When muscle tone is insufficient—often due to a lack of physical activity, prolonged sitting, or other sedentary habits—the efficiency of this natural pump decreases. This leads to increased venous pressure, promoting the dilation of superficial veins and contributing to conditions such as varicose veins and venous insufficiency. Over time, this can exacerbate symptoms like leg swelling, heaviness, or visible swollen veins.
Over time, vein walls can lose their elasticity and muscle tone, diminishing their ability to support efficient blood circulation. This weakening impacts the functionality of one-way valves designed to prevent blood from flowing backward. When these valves become damaged or fail, blood pools in the veins, leading to venous insufficiency and contributing to the development of varicose veins and spider veins. This stagnation of blood flow increases pressure within the affected blood vessels, promoting further dilation and the appearance of swollen veins or other visible signs, such as bluish or purple veins.
Genetics play a significant role in vein health, as hereditary factors can affect vein structure, valve function, and overall circulation. If a family member has spider veins or varicose veins, there is a higher chance of developing them due to inherited weaknesses in vein walls or valves. This genetic predisposition can make veins more prone to stretching and improper blood flow, increasing the likelihood of visible vein conditions over time.
Get the most out of our vein care by following advice from our experts
Addressing vascular concerns early prevents progression and can improve both appearance and comfort.
Prolonged sitting or standing can worsen vein issues. Regular exercise like walking or cycling promotes healthy circulation and vein pressure.
Wearing compression socks, elevating your legs, and staying hydrated can help you manage symptoms and support post-treatment recovery.
“Vein treatments aren’t just aesthetic; they improve circulation and overall leg health. Combining professional treatments with small lifestyle changes can make a big difference.”
Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution into spider or small varicose veins, causing them to collapse and fade. This treatment improves vein appearance and circulation with little to no downtime.
Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) is a procedure that uses laser energy to heat and seal off varicose veins, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins. This treatment reduces vein visibility and discomfort and is particularly effective for treating deep varicose veins.
Guided by sound waves, this sclerotherapy treatment is ideal for complex cases and chronic vein insufficiency.
