Take Steps to Get Legs that Look Good

If you spend most of the summer wearing pants to hide your spider veins, you’ve got lots of company.

An estimated 40 percent of all women have some vein problems in their legs, compared with 10 to 25 percent of men.

Erasing Spider Veins

Spider veins, often found on the face as well as on the legs, are a cosmetic issue, but not a medical concern.

At the Aesthetic Center in UVA’s Department of Plastic Surgery, Thomas Gampper, M.D., frequently treats spider veins with a VersaPulse Laser.

At UVA’s Northridge Medical Park, vascular surgeon Nancy Harthun, M.D., treats spider veins using a VascuLight laser.

Both procedures are needle-free, quick, safe and permanently remove spider veins.
