We specialize in laser spider vein removal using the cutting-edge Lumenis SPLENDOR X laser, which is tailored to deliver effective and efficient results.
The number of sessions required can vary based on the severity and extent of the spider veins, but typically, our clients achieve optimal results with 2 – 4 treatments, with sessions spaced 6 – 8 weeks apart. This schedule allows your skin sufficient time to heal and respond to the laser treatment, maximizing the effectiveness of each session.
Each session is quick and involves minimal discomfort, with many patients comparing the sensation to a light snap from a rubber band. After the initial consultation, most sessions last between 5 – 20 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
By choosing The Skin Center’s laser spider vein removal services, you are opting for a proven solution that offers significant reductions in the appearance of spider veins, enhancing both the health and aesthetics of your skin.
Spider veins, also known as telangiectasias, are fine, web-like networks of blood vessels visible just beneath the surface of the skin. They are usually not painful or harmful but may cause cosmetic concerns for many individuals. Spider veins are most commonly found on the legs and face.
Spider veins are caused by various factors including hereditary predisposition, hormonal changes, occupations or activities that require prolonged standing, obesity, and conditions that increase pressure in the abdomen such as liver disease or constipation. Sun exposure and injuries can also contribute to their development. If you would like to explore treatment, contact us today!
Most patients experience minimal discomfort, often described as a small rubber band snapping against the skin.
Spider Veins: These are thin, surface-level blood vessels that appear as small, fine lines, web-like networks, or branches. They are primarily a cosmetic issue.
Varicose Veins: Thicker and more raised than spider veins, varicose veins can cause discomfort and are often swollen and twisted. Unlike spider veins, varicose veins might signal underlying vascular problems.
Bulging Veins: Typically refers to veins that are very prominent and swollen, often associated with significant vein disorders. These can be more extreme forms of varicose veins and may require medical evaluation and treatment due to the risk of complications like ulcers or bleeding.
Please note that we cannot treat varicose or bulging veins.
While laser spider vein removal is effective in eliminating existing spider veins, new veins can develop over time due to genetics, lifestyle, or other health factors. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and following post-treatment care instructions can help minimize the chances of new spider veins appearing.
Laser spider vein removal is a safe and commonly performed procedure when conducted by a certified professional. It uses targeted laser energy to collapse spider veins without damaging the surrounding skin. Side effects are typically minimal and may include temporary redness or swelling at the treatment site.
