Here are a few facts about spider veins. First, no one really knows for sure what causes spider veins, but poor blood flow seems to be a common culprit for this condition. Another culprit is weight gain or if you have to sit or stand for extended periods of time, you guessed it, it can result in spider veins. And unfortunately pregnancy also contributes to spider vein development. Damage from the sun can also be a reason that you develop spider veins on your face.

Sclerotherapy is a popular treatment for spider veins, but if you have spider veins on your face, then laser vein therapy in New Jersey is the most successful treatment option.

For facial laser vein therapy in New Jersey, your vein specialist will have you wash your face to remove excess oil on your skin. Then, a short concentrated, release of light from the laser is utilized to take away the shallow blood vessels at specifically controlled levels of saturation.

In some cases it may be necessary for you to have a calibration sitting first in order to test different setting of the laser on tiny areas of your skin. If a calibration sitting is necessary a second appointment will be required 3-7 days afterwards to determine which setting is appropriate for your skin.
