Spider veins are small dilations of blood vessels located just beneath the skin's surface, visible as fine red, blue, or purplish networks. They are also known as telangiectasias or spider veins.
They primarily appear on the face (nasal alae, cheeks, chin) and legs. They are linked to vascular fragility or poor venous circulation. On the legs, spider veins are sometimes associated with incompetent deep veins.
Although generally benign, spider veins can be unsightly and accompanied by a feeling of heaviness in the legs. Modern treatments can progressively and effectively reduce them.
At Clinique SkinIn, located in Brossard's Quartier Dix30, we use the most advanced laser technologies to treat facial and leg spider veins with precision and safety.
Genetic predisposition and hereditary fragility of vein walls
Chronic venous insufficiency and the presence of incompetent deep veins, especially in the legs
Prolonged standing or a sedentary lifestyle
Pregnancy and hormonal changes that weaken vascular walls
Excessive sun exposure or prolonged heat, especially for facial spider veins
Skin aging and natural loss of vascular elasticity with age
Lifestyle factors: tobacco, alcohol, diet rich in salt
Avoid prolonged static positions and stand up regularly
Practice regular walking and calf mobilization exercises to activate venous return
Wear light compression stockings during long journeys or prolonged standing
Avoid direct heat sources: very hot baths, saunas, intensive sun exposure
Elevate your legs 10 to 15 minutes a day
Protect your face from the sun with an SPF 30+ cream suitable for sensitive skin
Adopt a diet rich in antioxidants and vitamin C to strengthen capillary walls
Treatments aim to reabsorb visible vessels and improve local circulation:
Selectively targets dilated blood vessels on the face and legs. The emitted heat causes coagulation and gradual reabsorption of the vessel without damaging the surrounding skin. It is the gold standard treatment for superficial spider veins, with no social downtime.
An effective alternative for diffuse facial vascular networks, including persistent redness and rosacea.
Injection of a sclerosing solution directly into the small vessels of the legs, causing them to close and gradually disappear.
Laser and microsclerotherapy depending on the area, density, and depth of the vessels, for optimal overall results.
If insufficient deep veins are suspected, a venous evaluation by Doppler ultrasound may be recommended before starting aesthetic treatments.
Essential protection after vascular laser treatment
Apply to the legs to strengthen vascular walls and reduce the feeling of heaviness
Strengthen skin capillaries and prevent vascular fragility
Oxygenating and protective, promotes microcirculation after treatment
