broken veins
Broken veins, also known as spider veins or thread veins, are small, dilated blood vessels that appear just beneath the surface of the skin. They often look like fine red or purple lines and can develop on the face, legs, or other areas of the body. They are commonly caused by factors such as sun damage, ageing, genetics, hormonal changes, or lifestyle factors like alcohol consumption and smoking. While harmless, many people choose to treat broken veins for cosmetic reasons.
Recommended Treatments
To safely and effectively treat broken veins, we may recommend:
Laser Treatments – to target and collapse visible veins with minimal discomfort.
Sclerotherapy – a proven method for treating thread veins on the legs.
The best treatment option depends on the size, location, and severity of the veins.
