How to Prevent Facial Varicose Veins
Varicose veins on the face are also known as spider veins due to their resemblance to a spider’s web. These dilated red, purple, or blue capillaries which are often found around the eyes, cheeks, chin, or neck, are visible because of their proximity to the surface of the skin.
There are a number of factors that can contribute to the appearance of these veins including genetics, health, habits, and aging. Although it may not be possible to prevent varicose veins on the face, it is possible to decrease the risks by:
- Wearing sunscreen
- Maintaining a healthy weight
- Getting regular exercise
- Limiting alcohol use
- Avoiding tobacco products
- Practicing gentle skin care
However, for those who do develop unsightly facial varicose or spider veins and who would like a non-surgical option, laser treatment for varicose veins is available with a varicose veins specialist doctor. Because no scalpels or sutures are utilized, there are no long-lasting scars or keloids.
There’s minimal discomfort, and most treatments are characterized as being virtually painless. With this modern therapy, most people can resume their daily activities immediately after treatment. Additionally, most major health insurance carriers provide coverage for the treatment of vein disease and venous insufficiency when medically necessary.
