Small varicose veins
Spider veins are very small, usually harmless and reddish-blue discolored varicose veins . As a rule, this is therefore a cosmetic problem. What you can do about spider veins yourself and how you can treat them professionally , you can find out here.
Everyday tips against spider veins
For example, to tackle the tiny varicose veins, you can perform a series of exercises to keep your legs fit. This includes, for example, the springs: To do so, stand upright, raise and lower the heels slowly and simultaneously. Repeat these exercises several times.
It can also be helpful to roll a hedgehog ball with bare feet over the floor, which promotes the circulation of feet and legs. Note: Sport is only preventative, so you can not fight already existing spider veins. However, you can use cosmetics to conceal them using, for example, a long-lasting body camouflage or a special make-up for the body.
Treat small varicose veins professionally
In order to finally get rid of the unsightly spider veins, a cosmetic procedure in the form of a laser therapy or sclerotherapy is necessary . In the sclerotherapy, a special drug is injected liquid or as a foam in the spider veins. This causes a localized, unperceivable inflammation, which sticks to the vein walls and thus closes the vessels. A one to two week compression bandage completes this process. After about three months, the body finally completely degrades the desolate veins.
The laser therapy generates heat that causes the blood to clot. For a short time, the small varicose veins are therefore more pronounced. Thereafter, the clumped blood is degraded, the inner walls of the vessel collapse and stick together. About three to five sessions are needed to effectively treat and permanently remove the spider veins.
