¿Por qué son tan visibles mis venas?

Your veins are responsible for transporting the deoxygenated blood back to your heart. For some, especially those with darker complexions, it may be hard to see the veins beneath your skin. For others with lighter complexions, though, purplish, blueish or greenish-hued veins can be seen in the hands, arms and legs.

Razones por las que sus venas son visibles

22Veins can appear alongside symptoms like itching or tingling and be a sign of a medical issue. Most often, though, visible veins are simply a cosmetic concern.

Sus venas pueden ser visibles por varias razones: 

• Environment: Spending time in the sun or being outside during hot weather can increase your blood flow, which may cause your veins to stand out more than normal.
• Actividad: Durante los periodos de ejercicio intenso, la presión arterial aumenta, lo que hace que las venas se ensanchen y se noten más, sobre todo al levantar pesas. 
• Genetics: Visible veins are due to your genetics, so having family members with vein issues increases the chances that you will experience them too.
• Age: As you age, you lose fatty tissue and collagen, which thins out your skin and makes your veins more noticeable. 
• Hormones: Any time your body undergoes hormonal changes, like puberty or pregnancy, the amount of pressure placed on your veins can change, leading to a different appearance. 
• Medical conditions: Several medical conditions ranging from varicose veins to chronic venous insufficiency can impact your blood flow and cause your veins to swell.

Opciones de tratamiento de las venas visibles 

Depending on the cause, something as simple as taking a break from the heat or wearing compression stockings can help reduce the appearance of your veins. Other times, you may need treatment to help make your veins less visible. 

Existen varias opciones de tratamiento, entre ellas: 

• Sclerotherapy: During this procedure, your medical provider will inject a chemical into your veins that causes them to collapse and permanently close.
• Laser therapy: Laser surgery is especially effective for spider veins and relies on a highly specialized laser to make the vein less visible. 
• Microphlebectomy: During microphlebectomy, which is minimally invasive, your vein will be removed.
• Sistema de cierre: Con el sistema de cierre, se utilizará una sustancia pegajosa para cerrar la vena y reducir el flujo sanguíneo para que la vena sea menos perceptible.
