There appears to be an aesthetic treatment for facial spider veins that is starting to get noticed. It’s a cream containing the little known Vitamin P. Now, Vitamin P is part of Vitamin C Complex that includes things like rutin and citrus bioflavonoids. If you’re still interested, then keep reading. I did a lot of research.

I found this article that said in 1937, Dr. Albert Szent-Gyrogyo from Hungary won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for isolating Vitamin C. In the course of doing this he discovered and dubbed the bioflavonoid substances Vitamin P for permeability. His discovery uncovered that it had particularly beneficial effects on capillary strength and stability, and may also protect these blood vessels.

I have found one good product by Reviva Labs called “Vitamin P Day Cream. I’m pretty much stuck on this company. It has helped lessen the redness that I seen from those with Rosacca, decongest clogged capillaries (for the spider veins), and has made her skin tighter.

I found “Vitamin P Day Cream” at Whole Foods, but I think that you can find it at most health food and vitamin stores.

Has anyone else tried it? Or can anyone tell me more?

Spider veins are the unsightly red or purple sunburst or web patterns made by the smallest veins on your legs and face, sometimes called broken veins or capillaries. Heredity, pregnancy and hormonal changes play a role in their appearance.

Bioflavonoids are not actually vitamins, although they are sometimes referred to as vitamin P. Vitamin P is a water soluble vitamin. It has a crystalline structure and yet it takes on the characteristics of a Bioflavonoid. Vitamin P, bioflavanoids are also required by the body to aid in resistance to infection and to prevent oxidation of vitamin C within the body. Vitamin P includes a number of components that work together—citrin, hesperidin, rutin, flavones, flavonals, and catechin. It may also be active in preserving the structures of capillaries and promote circulation. Products that contains vitamin P can help improve the appearance of spider veins, however, they will not get rid of the spider veins.

Lasers provide a safe and effective method for eliminating facial spider veins. A laser generating an intense beam of light is directed at the targeted vein using a special laser hand-piece. The energy emitted by the laser is absorbed by the blood vessel, but not by the surrounding tissue. The heat generated by the laser causes coagulation of the blood vessel, which is destroyed and is gradually reabsorbed by the body. Sclerotherapy is the injection of small amounts of a special solution directly into unwanted veins. This begins a process whereby the treated veins collapse, and are later reabsorbed by the bodies natural healing process. It is a brief office procedure which requires no anaesthesia. It is always important to make sure you gather lots of information about these procedures and seek professional advice before deciding what is good for you.
