Spider Vein Treatment
A treatment that reduces the appearance of small, visible veins close to the skin's surface.
What is Spider Vein Treatment?
Spider vein treatment addresses small, visible blood vessels close to the surface of the skin, most commonly on the legs or face, using sclerotherapy, laser treatment, or a combination of both. In sclerotherapy, a solution is injected directly into the vein, causing it to collapse and fade over time. Laser treatment instead uses focused light energy to heat and close the vein without any injection. Your practitioner determines the most suitable approach based on the size, location, and number of veins being treated.
Why is this procedure performed?
- Visible spider veins on the legs or face
- Aching or discomfort associated with visible veins
- A desire for smoother, more even-toned skin
- Self-consciousness about visible veins affecting clothing choices
- A non-surgical option for reducing vein visibility
How does this procedure help?
Spider vein treatment effectively reduces or eliminates the appearance of unwanted visible veins, often significantly improving skin appearance and confidence, particularly for those who have avoided certain clothing due to visible veins. Most treatments require little to no downtime, with treated veins gradually fading over several weeks. Depending on the extent of veins being treated, multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results.
