You may not think that having spider veins or varicose veins in Singapore may be much of a health concern, but what most people agree on is that it is an unwanted blemish on the body. Varicose veins make you look older than you appear to be, and in more serious cases, can cause discomfort or even pain.
Where do spider veins appear?
Spider veins can appear in many parts of your body, but they most commonly appear in areas where blood can pool and enlarge or twist them. Your legs are a common target, but did you know spider veins in Singapore can also appear on your face? Yikes!
Don’t worry-- there are quite a few methods you can try to ease spider veins on your face. Some people use cold compresses and use vitamins or other skin products like aloe vera to soothe enlarged or burst blood vessels.
3 treatments for facial spider veins
But if you really want something effective, you should try going to a vein clinic in Singapore. Here are three of the clinical yet nonsurgical treatments that people use on spider veins that appear on the face.
- Sclerotherapy. Sclerotherapy uses injections of solutions known as sclerosing agents to seal up the blood vessels. This has the effect of making your spider veins disappear for a short time.
- Laser therapy. Like the name suggests, laser therapy uses intense laser light to destroy your spider veins. However, beware as this treatment can also damage skin cells.
- Intense Pulled Light (or IPL) Treatment. IPL treatments also make use of lights to penetrate the skin and damage your spider veins, causing them to disappear. They work a bit like laser therapy and is less harmful to the skin, but its downside is that you may need more sessions before it shows results.
