Evaluation for Telangiectasias or spider veins - LASKIN PRO specialized procedures

✓ Telangiectasias, commonly known as "spider veins" are superficial capillaries that dilate and become visible on the surface of the skin. They often present as thin, branching lines that can be red, blue, or purple in color. These dilated vessels can appear in various parts of the body, but are most common in:

1. Legs: Telangiectasias in the legs are especially common and are often associated with circulatory problems.
2. Face: On the face, they can manifest as small red lines visible on the skin, especially on the nose and cheeks.

Telangiectasias form when small blood vessels just under the skin weaken and expand. They can have several causes, including:

- Genetics: Genetic predisposition plays an important role in the appearance of telangiectasias.
- Sun exposure: Excessive exposure to the sun without protection can weaken the blood vessels in the skin and contribute to the formation of telangiectasias.
- Aging: Over time, the skin thins, causing blood vessels to become more visible.
- Hormonal changes: Hormonal changes, such as those associated with pregnancy or menopause, can contribute to the appearance of telangiectasias.
- Lifestyle factors: Excessive alcohol consumption and smoking can also increase the risk of developing telangiectasias.
