Are those red spider-like patches scary? Spider nevi refer to clusters of small, broken veins that appear as dilated, red-colored spots. Whatever your reason for getting spider veins, at some point their appearance might affect your personality. And, if it occurs due to some medical condition, you need to find out the reason and the right treatment to get rid of the spots.

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

After the sessions, redness may occur and remain for 24 hours or more. You need to follow some precautions to avoid post-op complications, which include:

Take a warm water bath to clean the skin.
Don’t rub, only pat dry the area.
Don’t apply makeup for a week or more.
Give time to the skin for healing.
Avoid strenuous exercise, steam room, sauna, and hot baths for 4-5 days.

Pro Tip: Apply the recommended home care/ medical products.
