Spider Veins Management and Prevention Tips

February 21, 2019 by Gregg Bessette

Spider Veins

As the name suggests, spider veins are thin, visible veins that resemble a spider’s web. They are commonly developed on the legs and the face. While they do not pose any medical risk, they are a concern to most people. The Institute of Aesthetic Surgery offers professional treatment for individuals who wish to get rid of this condition. That said, you can prevent or lower the risk of developing spider veins by taking the following steps.
Relieve Pressure on Your Limbs
One of the most common causes of spider veins is pressure on the limbs. By lessening the pressure on your limbs, you can reduce the risk of developing spider veins. Avoid standing or sitting for extended periods. Experts recommend taking a stroll every hour if your occupation involves sitting for long periods of time. Additionally, you should avoid crossing your legs while in a sitting position.
Keep the Blood Flowing Through Your Legs
Working out your legs by walking or running can improve blood circulation, strengthen your leg muscles, and prevent spider veins from developing on your limbs.
Get Support
If you’re going to be standing for a long time, experts recommend putting on lightweight compression stockings. This can go a long way in managing or preventing spider vein symptoms as well as swelling. Get lightweight compression socks with a gradient of 15-25 millimeters of mercury (a measure of how much pressure it exerts on your limbs). While you can buy these stockings from your local pharmacy, it is important that you seek a medical examination just to be certain that you do not have an underlying vascular condition.
Prop up Your Feet
Elevating your legs while in a lying position is another important prevention measure for spider veins. For best effect, ensure that your legs are elevated higher than your heart.
Get Any Varicose Veins Treated
Varicose veins are a larger version of spider veins. Treating your varicose veins can reduce the pressure on your legs and prevent the development of spider veins.
Finding the Right Treatment for Spider Veins
The ideal treatment strategy for your spider veins begins with finding the right provider. Unfortunately, finding a medical provider is not always easy. While most clinics claim to treat this condition, not all have the right facilities or competent expertise. The Institute of Aesthetic Surgery in Celebration, FL provides comprehensive care that you will need to get rid of stubborn spider veins. We also treat patients in Lake Nona and Altamonte Springs. Contact us today to schedule your consultation!
