quick visible results. It can be applied during pregnancy (with permission from your doctor) as a preventive measure to help solve the problem of stretch marks before they occur. Spider veins, too, are such a nuisance, especially for women. For men who have spider veins, there again, it does not look nearly as unsightly on them as it does on women. Seems unfair, doesn’t it? We women are so vain and we want to look our best for as long as we possibly can. In the summer months when we do not wear hose, wear capri pants or shorts, we do not want everyone looking at our unsightly spider veins. Spider veins are broken capillaries or small clusters of red, blue or purple veins appearing on thighs, calves and ankles. It is estimated that at least half of all women are bothered by this common cosmetic problem. A number of factors may contribute to the development of spider veins in the legs, including heredity, pregnancy, hormonal shifts, weight gain, occupation or activities that require prolonged sitting or standing. In some women, spider veins become noticeable in their early twenties. For others, the veins may not become obvious until they reach their forties. Men who have spider veins are usually concealed by hair growth on their legs and are not nearly as noticeable to the general eye as they are on women. The best solution to eliminate your spider veins after they have developed and to love the looks of your legs is to visit a vein specialist if you feel your problem is bad enough to seek a professional opinion. A professional assessment will be made of your situation, and a plan of action would be given for treatment on each individual basis. With several treatments in an outpatient setting, a special solution can be injected into each effected vein which, in turn, would cause the vein to collapse and fade away from view. The decision to have spider vein treatment is extremely personal and you will need to decide if the benefits will achieve your goals and if the risks for potential complications are acceptable to your individual preference. ya d ki n va l l e y l iv i n g . co m
