What is Spider Nevi?
Spider nevi are small clumps of blood vessels that can appear on the surface of the skin. They are called "spiders" due to their resemblance to the arachnid. These growths are prevalent and often occur on the upper body, face, neck, upper chest, and arms.Causes
Spider nevi, especially if there is more than one, is a common sign of liver disease. People with liver disease often have multiple vessel clusters at a time. In women, spider nevi are commonly seen when estrogen levels are high in the body, during pregnancy, or in the case of liver disease.
Preparations
- Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight for four weeks.
- Avoid using saunas/steam rooms on the day of treatment.
- Avoid exercising immediately before treatment.
Procedure
When treating spider navi, the pulse dye laser is highly effective. Usually, the cluster will disappear after one or two laser treatments without damaging the skin. For a few days after treatment, the pulse dye laser may cause a small bruise in the treated areas. Following treatment, you should wear a high-factor sunblock on the area and avoid excessive sun exposure. Our specialist will advise you on how to look after your skin.Post-Treatment Guidelines
