Spider veins, or telangiectasias, are tiny blood vessels that create visible red or blue lines around the nose, cheeks, or chin. They’ve recently gained attention in a New York Times article, in which NYT reporter Erica Sweeney provided great insight by speaking to dermatologists from around New York City about what they are and how to treat them. So what can you do for spider veins in Bellevue?

Understanding the Issue:
Telangiectasias, commonly known as spider veins, are small dilated blood vessels that were damaged and became visible under the skin. Their name comes from their web-like appearance and while they may be unsightly, these veins are not harmful and do not indicate health issues. Various factors contribute to spider veins, with sun damage being a primary cause on the face. Sun exposure can destroy the coating surrounding blood vessels which increases their visibility. Genetics, aging, facial trauma, and hormonal changes also play roles in the development of spider veins.

Our Approach to Treatment:
At Dermatology Arts, we understand the impact that spider veins and telangiectasias can have on both appearance and mental well-being. Our advanced dermatological treatments, particularly Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Vasculase, offer effective solutions to address these concerns.

IPL Treatment:
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a non-invasive and innovative approach to treating spider veins, baseline redness, and overall photoaging. This treatment uses targeted pulses of light at various wavelengths to heat and destroy the unwanted blood vessels beneath the skin's surface. IPL is known for its ability to improve skin tone, reduce redness, and diminish the appearance of visible blood vessels.

Vasculase Treatment:
Our Vasculase treatment is another cutting-edge option for addressing spider veins. This laser technology precisely targets the affected blood vessels, causing them to collapse and gradually fade away. Vasculase is a safe and effective solution that can provide long-lasting results, restoring the skin's natural beauty.
