Many people are embarrassed by the appearance of spider veins on the face or legs. Spider veins are actually dilated or stretched blood vessels that appear on the legs, not "broken" blood vessels, as is commonly thought. Their precise cause is unknown, but it is thought that heredity, excessive standing, weight gain, hormonal changes and pregnancy may be some of the causes.

Approximately 50% to 60% of men and women worldwide have unsightly leg veins. While sclerotherapy is an option for the removal of superficial leg veins, there are known side effects, and some veins will not respond. The Laserscope Lyra laser can provide a safe and effective method of treatment for a wide range of leg veins and requires no painful injections.
