Laser Spider Vein Removal
This is the gold standard treatment for reducing unsightly spider veins. No incisions or needles are used. It is an easy, fast, and effective way to treat superficial veins with minimum discomfort using the YAG laser. Laser therapy has been used in the medical field for more than 30 years. The laser uses a focused beam of light to target the pigment in the blood and heats up the small vein, destroying it without damaging the surrounding skin tissue. Over a period of four to six weeks, the vein is reabsorbed by the body and disappears. Results can be individual, but is extremely successful.
Laser Spider Vein Removal is a non-invasive treatment that uses YAG laser technology to target and reduce superficial spider veins. The focused beam of light heats the small veins, causing them to collapse and be naturally absorbed by the body without damaging the surrounding skin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you get spider veins?
Spider veins occur when blood pools in veins near the surface of the skin. They can be caused by heredity, obesity, trauma, and fluctuations in hormone levels. In many cases, the exact cause is not known. They tend to become more numerous with age and are common among people over 30 and in pregnant women.
How can I get rid of my spider veins on my face and/or legs?
By undergoing a laser treatment using a YAG laser, the laser damages the vein, causing scar tissue that closes the vein. A closed vein loses its source of blood and dies. After about one year, they are likely to disappear.
Is a spider vein removal treatment using a laser permanent?
Depending on your lifestyle, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight, the treated veins may stay away. However, as we age, new 'starbursts' can occur; therefore, regular maintenance 1-2 times yearly is recommended.
How many sessions will I need, and does it hurt?
Usually, 2-4 sessions are recommended for optimal results. The laser feels like a snap of a rubber band, and there may be a slight burning sensation.
