Leg Vascular Imperfections
Spider veins, varicose veins, and heavy legs are not just aesthetic concerns, but signs of a circulation system in need of help. In our clinics, we offer the most advanced treatments (Laser, Sclerotherapy, TRAP) to restore health, lightness, and beauty to your legs.
Why Do Spider Veins and Varicose Veins Appear?
Vascular imperfections in the lower limbs are often the visible manifestation of chronic venous insufficiency. Leg veins are responsible for returning blood to the heart, defying gravity. When vein walls weaken or valves malfunction, blood tends to pool, dilating the vessels and making them visible on the surface.
The main causes include:
- Genetic predisposition (heredity).
- Hormonal factors (pregnancy, menopause, contraceptives).
- Lifestyle (sedentary habits, standing for long periods, being overweight).
- Age (natural loss of vessel elasticity).
What Are the Main Vascular Imperfections?
Circulatory problems manifest in different forms, which often represent different stages of the same condition:
- Telangiectasia (Spider Veins): Fine networks of red or bluish vessels (0.1–1 mm in diameter), very superficial and aesthetically bothersome.
- Reticular Veins: Medium-sized veins (1–3 mm), visible under the skin as green or bluish lines, often behind the knee or on the thigh.
- Varicose Veins (Varices): Dilated, twisted, and often raised veins (> 3 mm), a symptom of a more significant functional problem.
- Matting: Diffuse pinkish patches formed by a myriad of tiny spider veins, often resistant to traditional treatments.
- Edema and Symptoms: Swelling (especially in the evening), a feeling of heaviness, night cramps, and itching.
Solutions at Derma Laser Clinic
There is no one-size-fits-all cure. In our clinics, we offer various solutions based on the specific issue:
Excel V® Vascular Laser (for Fine Spider Veins)
Laser technology is the treatment of choice for the finest, red, and most resistant spider veins (such as matting), which are difficult to cannulate with a needle. The laser beam coagulates the vessel from the outside without piercing the skin.
Advantage: Excellent for aesthetic finishing and fine spider veins.

Liquid and Foam Sclerotherapy (for Visible Veins)
The treatment to permanently eliminate blue spider veins and medium-sized varicose veins. By injecting a sclerosing agent (liquid or foam), the diseased vessel is closed and reabsorbed.
Advantage: Decisive, it eliminates the non-functioning vessel.

TRAP (Regenerative Phlebotherapy)
A conservative approach that heals vessels rather than closing them. Through regenerative micro-injections, it strengthens the walls of dilated veins, restoring their function and causing them to “recede.”
Advantage: Treats the entire venous system, improving hemodynamics and preventing recurrence.
