Spider veins, also known as telangiectasias, are those small, thin, web-like clusters of red, purple, or blue veins that appear close to the surface of the skin. While they are usually harmless, they can be a source of cosmetic concern, particularly when they appear on the face or legs.
At AdvanCell in Dhaka, we offer advanced and effective Spider Vein Treatment options, primarily focusing on Sclerotherapy and laser therapies, to help you achieve clearer, smoother skin and regain confidence in your appearance.
You might benefit from our specialized treatments if you have:
Visible Spider Veins on the Legs: The most common location, often on the thighs, calves, or ankles.
Facial Spider Veins: Small, red or purple veins on the nose, cheeks, or chin.
Spider Veins on Other Areas: Though less common, they can appear elsewhere on the body.
Desire for Improved Cosmetic Appearance: To reduce the visibility of these veins for clearer skin.
Spider veins are caused by dilated (enlarged) small blood vessels near the skin's surface. Several factors can contribute to their development:
Genetics: A family history of spider veins increases your risk.
Sun Exposure: UV damage can weaken blood vessels.
Age: Vein walls weaken naturally over time.
Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, birth control pills, and hormone replacement therapy can play a role.
Prolonged Standing or Sitting: Increases pressure on leg veins.
Obesity: Excess weight puts extra pressure on veins.
Injuries or Trauma: Can damage small blood vessels.
At AdvanCell, your journey to clearer skin begins with a thorough and compassionate consultation. Our experienced dermatologists will carefully examine your spider veins, assess their size, location, and underlying causes, and discuss your medical history and aesthetic goals. We then develop a personalized treatment plan, primarily utilizing Sclerotherapy and/or laser therapy, to effectively target and eliminate these unwanted veins.
We offer two primary and highly effective methods for treating spider veins:
Sclerotherapy:
Mechanism: This is the gold standard treatment for spider veins, particularly on the legs. It involves injecting a sclerosant solution (a medication) directly into the affected veins. This solution irritates the lining of the vein, causing it to collapse and eventually be reabsorbed by the body.
Process: Using a very fine needle, our dermatologists precisely inject the sclerosant into the targeted veins. The procedure is generally well-tolerated, and multiple veins can be treated in a single session. Compression stockings are often worn after treatment to aid healing.
Benefits: Highly effective, minimal discomfort, relatively quick procedure, long-lasting results.
Laser Therapy:
Mechanism: Specific lasers, such as Nd:YAG lasers, deliver focused light energy to the spider veins. This energy is absorbed by the blood within the vein, causing it to heat up and collapse. The body then naturally clears away the treated vein.
Ideal for: Smaller spider veins, particularly those on the face that are not well-suited for sclerotherapy, and for smaller leg veins.
Process: A handheld laser device is used to deliver pulses of light to the targeted veins. The procedure may feel like a mild snapping sensation. Cooling devices are often used to minimize discomfort.
Benefits: Effective for small veins, precise targeting, minimal downtime.
Reduced or Eliminated Spider Veins: Achieve clearer, smoother-looking skin.
Improved Cosmetic Appearance: Regain confidence in your legs or face.
Minimally Invasive Procedures: Avoid surgery and lengthy recovery times.
