Spider Vein Removal
Spider veins, also called telangiectasias, are tiny visible vessels within the skin. They develop most commonly on the face and legs.
During laser treatment, the laser is applied to the skin over your spider veins. Laser energy causes your spider veins to coagulate and shrink. Laser therapy is most effective for small and medium size spider veins.
Immediately following treatment, spider veins will be darker and more visible. Over eight to ten weeks, your spider veins usually fade. Laser therapy of facial spider veins is the treatment of choice. Laser treatment may cause minor bruising which usually improves within one week, but often, recovery is immediate. Two to four treatments may be required to achieve your desired result. Immediately following treatment, you may apply make-up and will be presentable.
Regardless of treatment, you should anticipate the development of new spider veins over time, just as you would if your spider veins had not been treated. Spider vein therapy treats current spider veins but does not prevent new ones.
For facial veins and leg veins, a private consultation is needed.
