Let’s talk spider veins—those wiggly little networks that resemble their eight-legged namesakes a bit too well! While they might look concerning, these tiny blood vessel rebellions are typically nothing to worry about health-wise. But that doesn’t mean you have to embrace them as permanent residents!

Spider veins versus varicose veins—what’s the difference? Think of it like comparing streams to rivers. Spider veins are tiny damaged capillaries just beneath your skin’s surface, while varicose veins are larger vessels that actually bulge outward. Many people have both because they share similar causes—like genetics, pregnancy, or spending too much time on your feet.

Who’s most likely to join the spider vein club? Women are more susceptible than men (thanks, hormones!), and the risk climbs with age. If you’re pregnant, using hormonal birth control, carrying extra weight, or have a job that keeps you standing all day, you might be more prone to these vascular visitors.

At Fresh Start Skin Care and Laser, we’ve helped countless clients say goodbye to unwanted spider veins. Our dual-approach treatment combines the best of laser technology with thermocoagulation for optimal results. Smaller vessels often disappear immediately after treatment, while larger ones fade gradually over several weeks.
