Spider naevi skin treatment

Spider Naevi

Telangiectasia or spider naevi is a type swollen blood vessel found slightly beneath the skin surface, often containing a central red spot and reddish extensions which radiate outwards like a spider's web. They are common and benign and common in healthy adults and young children. 

Characteristics

​

​

​

For a spider naevi on the face, laser skin therapy treatment can be used to remove the lesion.

High estrogen levels in their blood cause spider naevi and is common for pregnant women and women using hormonal contraception. Individuals with significant liver disease also show many spider angiomas, as their liver cannot metabolize estrogen.

Spider naevi are asymptomatic and usually resolve spontaneously. This is common in the case of children, although they may take several years to disappear. If the spider naevi are associated with pregnancy, contraceptives, or liver disease, they may resolve shortly after these medications are stopped, after the pregnancy and when liver disease is resolved.

SKIN TREATMENT OPTIONS

​

​

​

DIATHERMY

Diathermy or thermocoagulation is a treatment that uses a very fine needle to prick the skin and then an ultrarapid radiofrequency current is passed through the area which is heated and sealed. This precision technique is used to coagulate certain superficial cutaneous imperfections and veins, in order to minimize their appearance or to completely eliminate them.

​

​

​

IPL SKIN REJUVINATION

IPL is a gentle, non-invasive way to reverse the signs of ageing. We use a safe and effect Intense Pulsed Light that converts into heat energy when absorbed by red or brown pigment. We can selectively target and remove capillaries with the natural elimination process through our lymphatic system. This treatment reduces the appearance of the overall redness to the skin and permanently shuts down the damaged capillary.

​

​

​

LASER PIGMETNATION REMOVAL

Our Candela Alexandrite Laser uses a focused beam of light that is attracted to red and brown pigment. The pigment in the skin absorbs the light which is then converted to heat which shatters the pigmented lesion. The pigment will instantly darken to a purple or grey colour, the vessels then shut down and become ineffective and is eliminated naturally through the lymphatic system.

  • WHAT IS MICRODERMABRASION?
    The Microdermabrasion Treatment is a skin resurfacing treatment suitable for all skin types. It combines a deep clean and exfoliation, extractions and antioxidant rejuvenation for instantly brighter, cleaner and clearer skin.
  • HOW DOES THE MICRODERMABRASION WORK?
    Using an abrasive hand-piece with vacuum suction directed onto the skin, it simultaneously exfoliates, clears blocked pores, buffs and polishes the skin for a smooth even complexion. This treatment is completed within half an hour. The Microdermabrasion treatment buffs and polishes the surface of the skin, stimulating the receptors in the epidermis which in turn stimulates the production of new skin cells in the deepest layer of the epidermis. This encourages the production of new epidermal skin cells, while the buffing and polishing action removes dead skin cells from the surface. Together this process creates glowing skin, refreshed with bright new skin cells. As we age the regeneration of skin cells slow down leaving our skin looking dull and lifeless, showing wrinkles, pores and old acne scarring, by stimulating the upper layers of the skin, we will begin the process of regeneration. We recommend combining with Skin Needling treatments to stimulate the second layer of the skin, the dermis. Clinical trials and studies of microdermabrasion show a smoother, more even and healthier looking epidermis. The results of Microdermabrasion are instant with little downtime. Your skin may be pink immediately after treatment, this subsides over the next few hours. For those with a more sensitive skin type it may appear pink to red until the next day.
  • WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS?
    It is normal to experience some redness immediately post treatment, which usually subsides within a few hours. Some people may experiences dryness or peel several days post treatment as the skin cells shed and fresh new skin cells are brought to the surface.
  • HOW MANY SESSIONS DO I NEED?
    You will notice improvements immediately after your first treatment. One treatment will improve the skin, however a series of treatments will give you long-term stimulation of the epidermis, leading to fresher, brighter looking skin. Depending on your age or the nature of why you are having the treatment, your skin therapist will discuss with you how many sessions it will take to get the results you're looking for. We recommend a course of 6 to 12 sessions depending on your skin focus and a maintenance session with every change in season.
  • WHAT HAPPENS DURING MY TREATMENT?
    The Microdermabrasion is performed as a multi-step process. First we will deeply cleanse and exfoliate your skin. Next we will perform the Microdermabrasion on your skin, and then apply a pumpkin enzyme peel to smooth the skin. This is followed by an extraction of blackheads and whiteheads. The final step offers rehydration where hyaluronic, peptides and an infusion of antioxidants and essential nutrients is applied to the skin. The entire treatment takes 30 minutes.
  • WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER MY TREATMENT?
    You may experience slight redness for up to an hour following your treatment, similar to that after a workout. Otherwise you will notice instantly fresher, dewy, clear and glowing skin.
  • WHAT PRECAUTIONS CAN I TAKE PRE AND POST TREATMENT?
    As we have removed layers of dead skin cells, we recommend no scrubs, acids or anything harsh for 24-48 hours post treatment. We also recommend to not use any harsh products on the skin for at least two days before a treatment – specifically no Vitamin A or home masks. We always recommend the daily use of SPF 30 sunscreen to prevent the skin becoming sun damaged. Please apply at least once every two hours when out in the sun.
