Dr Brad Discusses Thread Vein Treatment
What Are Thread Veins & How Does YAG Work?
Causes of Thread Veins
Spider veins appear as fine, web-like red, blue, or purple lines. Common contributing factors include:
- Genetics: Family history increases likelihood
- Hormones: Pregnancy, menopause, or therapies
- Lifestyle: Prolonged standing or sun exposure
- Aging: Loss of skin and vessel elasticity
How YAG Laser Therapy Works
The advanced Nd:YAG laser emits a focused beam of light absorbed by hemoglobin:
- Laser targets thread veins with pinpoint precision
- Heat energy causes vessel walls to collapse and seal shut
- Body naturally reabsorbs treated vessels over time
- Surrounding skin remains entirely untouched
