Vein Away Plus™ (100ml)

What are Spider veins?
In the medical world spider veins are known as telangiectasia. They are small, thin veins that lie close to the surface of the skin and usually take on one of three basic patterns. They may appear in a true spider shape with a group of veins radiating outward from a dark central point, they may resemble tiny branch like shapes or they may be simple linear and appear as thin separate lines. 

What causes spider veins?
A number of factors can contribute to the development of spider veins including genetics, pregnancy, hormonal shifts, weight gain, sun exposure, lack of exercise and having an occupation that requires sitting or standing for long periods of time. Studies have also shown that estrogen weakens capillary walls, thus the chances of developing spider veins is increased with the use of birth control pills and estrogen replacement therapy as well as during pregnancy. General ageing is also associated with the dilation and weakening of capillary walls. 

What is the difference between spider and varicose veins?
Varicose veins differ from spider veins in a number of ways- varicose veins are larger, darker in colour and tend to bulge. Varicose veins are also more likely to cause pain and can be related to more serious vein disorders.

How does Vein Away Plus work?
The combination of Phytotonine, Vitamin A and botanical oils in Vein Away Plus help to promote the repair, elasticity and general health of veins as well as having a favourable action on microcirculation. Vitamin A also helps to prevent sun damage- in turn avoiding one of the risk factors for the development of spider veins.
