In the latest episode of DermTV.com, respected dermatologist Dr. Neal Schultz explains what spider veins are, what causes them, and the most common ways to treat them. 

New York, New York – November 17, 2009 – Most people who have spider veins, also referred to as broken capillaries, don’t know what causes them or how to treat them.  In DermTV.com’s “Spider Veins” episode, Dr. Schultz explains what they are, what causes them, and the most effective treatments.

“Spider veins are actually enlarged blood vessels in the skin,” explains Dr. Schultz.  “They’re so enlarged that you can actually see the red blood which is why you can see the red squiggly lines.”  Dr. Schultz goes on to explain what causes spider veins and why the treatment for facial spider veins is different than the treatment for spider veins in the legs.  Finally, Dr. Schultz reminds his viewers that, “If you have spider veins, they’re easily treatable; you don’t have to tolerate them.”

According to Dr. Schultz, everyone can have beautiful, healthy, younger looking skin.  Many people just don’t know where to turn for authoritative and trustworthy advice.  Dr. Schultz, a New York-based cosmetic dermatologist with over 30 years of experience, has created DermTV.com to provide easily accessible answers for common dermatological questions and concerns.
