Leg and Facial Spider Veins
Dr. Eugene Mandrea and Dr. Steven Mandrea have treated numerous patients with leg spider veins and facial spider veins, in Chicago, Park Ridge and Palos Heights.
Leg Spider Veins
Leg spider veins appear as thin red lines just under the surface of the skin, commonly found on the legs and thighs. They are more common in women than men and often accompany darker and thicker varicose veins. Other risk factors for spider veins include long periods of standing, family history, and other unknown causes.
Leg Spider Veins Treatments:
Sclerotherapy, the gold standard
Aesthera®, Cetain Lasers, for patients who are affraid of needles.
Facial Spider Veins
Facial spider veins (telangiectasias) also known as "dilated capillaries" and "broken blood vessels" are a very common, almost normal finding, especially in fair skinned people.

After:
The nose and the convex portion of the cheeks are most frequently involved, although in more severe cases, the entire face can have large numbers of them. They are, the vast majority of the time, caused by sun exposure.
Patients with Rosacea and Acne Rosacea often have multiple spider veins. Rarely, Spider veins can be signs of certain auto-immune collagen diseases (Lupus Erythematosus, CREST).
Facial Spider Veins Treatment:
Varicose Veins
Probably more than 25% of women and 15% of men eventually develop varicose veins. Treating Varicose veins takes longer than treating spider veins. Injecting varicose veins with sclerosing solutions is still being done, but it is no longer the best method. There is now a special endovenous laser that has a better success rate.
At Lakeview Dermatology, we treat Spider Veins only, using injections of sclerosing solutions, which have remained the gold standard of treatment.
