Vascular Lesions & Veins

In Missoula, MT

What Are Vascular Lesions & Veins?

Vascular lesions and visible veins are common skin concerns caused by abnormal blood vessels near the surface of the skin. These may appear as red, purple, or blue marks, such as spider veins, broken capillaries, or rosacea-related redness. While generally harmless, these conditions can affect skin appearance and confidence. Professional treatments can reduce or eliminate these visible veins and restore a more even complexion.

What Are the Causes of Vascular Lesions & Veins?

Genetics: A family history of vascular conditions increases susceptibility.

Sun Damage: UV exposure can weaken capillaries and contribute to their visibility.

Aging Process: Skin thins with age, making blood vessels more prominent.

Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, menopause, or birth control use can lead to vascular changes.

Lifestyle Factors: Prolonged standing, smoking, or heavy alcohol consumption can worsen vascular issues.
