What is causing the redness of your nose and face? - You might be suffering from red veins, spider veins or rosacea.

Veinwave is a revolutionary procedure to treat this condition and is normally used to treat veins and redness on face and chest. Its biggest advantage is that it can treat even the tiniest veins that cannot be treated by typical techniques like Sclerotherapy or laser. The procedure is quick with immediate recovery and relatively little discomfort. Millions of people around the world suffer from spider veins and rosacea it is estimated that there are more than 75% of females over the age of 18 with this condition. The word spider vein comes from the resemblance of these veins to a spider weaving its web. A lot of men also have this condition especially those who work outdoors.

Causes: Typically they are caused by weakening of the blood vessel wall and abnormal blood flow.

Veinwave therapy is a minimally invasive technique which uses thermo coagulation to heat and close the vessels with an electrical device. You can get this treatment done even during your lunch break as it has very few risks and side – effects. People with sensitive skin can see some minor reddening in the treated area which can last from a few hours to a few days but there is no need for bandages or pain killers you should just avoid sun exposure.
