Spider veins are small red blood vessels with abnormal blood flow that appear most frequently on the face and legs. They may be due to trauma, sun exposure or genetics – more and more of these veins emerge as we grow older, causing some people to wear concealer or causing them to avoid wearing shorts or bathing suits. Laser treatment for spider veins is the most effective way to clear the skin of these unattractive veins.
Laser spider vein treatment is the process of applying laser light directly to each problem area, causing the veins to shrink. If the treatment does not completely eliminate the appearance of the veins, it will significantly diminish them.
Laser spider vein treatment can diminish the appearance of unsightly red spider veins on the face, legs, or other parts of the body, creating clearer, more youthful skin with a more even tone.
A mild pricking or heating of the skin may be experienced when the laser light is applied. The discomfort is so minor that no anesthetic is necessary.
The treated spider veins will be permanently removed. However, laser spider vein treatment cannot prevent the development of additional spider veins. Therefore, more treatments may be required in the future.
