Thread and spider veins aren’t just a women’s concern
Fine red and blue veins on the legs, cheeks and nose are often talked about as a women’s issue, but men get them too. However, many put off asking about treatment. If you’ve been looking into spider vein removal Cheadle clinics offer, here is what men (and anyone unsure where to start) should know.
They’re common and usually harmless. The NHS describes spider and thread veins as small red, blue or purple veins that are usually harmless. They can appear on the legs, around the nose and on the cheeks. Furthermore, they’re often linked to genetics, sun exposure, age and long periods on your feet. www
Laser treatment is simple. The laser targets the vein directly. The vein collapses and fades gradually as your body clears it, with no needles and no surgery. Sessions are short, and most people describe a quick snapping sensation. Fine veins often respond in fewer sessions, while larger clusters can need more.
Men’s skin and hair need a little planning. On the legs, dense hair can get in the way of the laser, so we may ask you to shave the area before your appointment. On the face, we plan carefully around beard growth, delicate skin and any redness.
Know when to see a GP first. Thread veins are different from varicose veins. The NHS advises seeing a GP if you have pain, itching or swelling in your legs. If a vein is bulging, twisted or causing symptoms, we’ll ask you to have it checked before any cosmetic treatment. www
Aftercare is easy. Avoid hot baths, saunas and heavy exercise for a day or two, protect the area from the sun, and wear loose clothing over treated legs. Mild redness or bruising settles within days.
