The best treatments for spider veins in the Canary Islands
There are a lot of women and men who have to deal with varicose veins and spider veins. This is a fairly common skin problem among the population; and eliminating them can be a great aesthetic improvement.
Los riesgos a nivel de salud de las arañas vasculares son muy pequeños, así que sobre todo lo que generan son problemas estéticos. En Clínica ICA sabemos que mejorar tu aspecto es algo fundamental; y por eso te ofrecemos los mejores tratamientos para las arañas vasculares en Canarias, llevados a cabo por un equipo de expertos y con las últimas tecnologías.
What are spider veins?
First of all, varicose veins and spider veins are not the same thing. Although they belong to the same family, the two skin conditions are distinct.
Varicose veins are long-lasting accretions of the superficial veins. On the other hand, spider veins are clusters of veins that are smaller and finer than varicose veins. They are also visible on the skin at the superficial level, but their color is red or blue and their size is smaller. Their appearance is similar to a spider's web, hence their name.
Beyond the aesthetic aspect, spider veins do not usually manifest symptoms. Generally, the biggest problem they can cause is some kind of itching in the area. However, eliminating them can be a big step in improving our appearance.
Although both are more common in women than in men, our treatments for spider veins in the Canary Islands are aimed at people of all types.
How spider vein treatment works?
Laser treatment for spider veins is based on using a pulse of light that passes through the skin and is transmuted into heat. This is assimilated by the hemoglobin of the affected blood vessels, coagulating the vessels and promoting their liquidation.
This treatment for spider veins in our clinic in the Canary Islands gradually decreases their size. At the same time the discomfort they may cause is eliminated, and the appearance of the affected area, usually the legs, is significantly improved.
A lo largo del tratamiento el médico cubrirá los ojos del paciente con unas gafas protectoras. Después el láser se irá aplicando en las zonas afectadas, pudiendo sentir el paciente una leve quemazón. Cuando acaba la sesión se podrá apreciar que la zona estará más roja de lo habitual.
El tratamiento para las arañas vasculares en Canarias es un método que se basa en varias sesiones de alrededor de tres cuartos de hora de duración por cada sesión. Al tratarse de un procedimiento no invasivo, después de las consultas se puede reanudar la actividad diaria de forma normal de manera inmediata.
Is spider vein treatment safe?
As with all laser treatments, after treatment for spider veins at Clínica ICA it is necessary to reduce sun exposure as much as possible. However, beyond this the treatment is completely safe and will help you improve the appearance of your legs in record time.
At Clínica ICA we only work with the safest and most advanced techniques. If you want to eliminate your spider veins once and for all, book your appointment with us and we will be happy to assist you.

The treatment for spider veins in the Canary Islands usually lasts a couple of months and the results are evident from the first consultation. 10 days after the first session the damaged appearance of the affected area decreases in a very evident way.
What are the causes of spider veins?
Spider veins occur when the vein pathways in the affected area widen or dilate, causing blood to flow backwards. They usually appear green in color because the blood passing through the veins is deoxygenated.
These are some of the factors that increase the likelihood of developing this condition:
- Age.
- Pregnancy processes.
- Use of oral contraceptives.
- Genetic inheritance.
- Obesity or overweight.
- Gender. Women are more likely to suffer from spider veins.
- Standing or sitting for prolonged periods of time.
