What can a Spider Vein Treatment do for me?

Laser Spider Vein Treatment is a quick, effective and noninvasive procedure that uses a focused beam of light to heat and destroy affected veins. When laser energy is applied to the treatment area, it targets the pigment in the blood and warms the vessel without damaging the skin or surrounding tissues. Over time – usually, in four to six weeks after each treatment – the vein is reabsorbed by the body and disappears. Blood gets rerouted to healthier veins.

Laser Spider Vein Treatment - Face

During your treatment, you will be given a pair of goggles that protect your eyes from the intense laser light. Next, we will apply a cooling gel to the area being treated. The laser will be placed against the skin over the spider veins. You may feel some uncomfortable sensations as the laser fires; patients often say it feels like a rubber band snapping against their skin. Ice may be used to increase your comfort during the procedure. Laser vein treatment requires no downtime, though it’s common to experience some inflammation and redness in the treated area, and compression garments should be worn for some time after your appointment.

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive spider vein treatment that works by delivering a sclerosing agent into the troublesome vessel via injection. When injected, the solution irritates the inner lining of the vein, causing it to seal closed. The vessel eventually becomes scar tissue and disappears as the body absorbs it.
