What Are Spider Veins?
Spider veins, otherwise known as thread veins or telangiectasias, are thin red or purple veins that develop near the surface of the skin, usually on the face or legs. They tend to appear in clusters that may look like thin lines, webs, or branches. While spider veins rarely cause symptoms or pain, they often pose a cosmetic concern.
What Are Spider Vein Treatment Options?
Here is a look at two of our featured spider vein treatment options:
IPL Photofacials
IPL photofacials, also known as photorejuvenation, offer a safe and highly effective solution for eliminating spider veins, especially those on the face. Intense pulsed light targets the hemoglobin in the unwanted vessels, heating them and causing their collapse. The body naturally absorbs the treated veins, reducing redness and restoring your skin's clarity. Aside from spider veins, IPL photofacials provide an effective solution for addressing vascular lesions, such as broken capillaries, port wine stains, rosacea, and facial redness.
IPL treatments for spider veins are virtually pain-free, with some describing what feels like a gentle snap of an elastic band. Treatments typically last anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Your skin may feel sunburned for a few hours, and you may experience mild redness and bruising for a day or two. Your treated spider veins may become more pronounced before gradually fading away.
Lutronic Clarity Laser
Our Lutronic Clarity laser delivers light energy beneath the skin, targeting your problematic veins. The heat energy causes the unwanted blood vessels to collapse and gradually fade over time. The procedure is fairly quick, taking about 15 to 45 minutes to complete, depending on your unique needs. While you may feel mild discomfort or a slight burning sensation, you should not feel pain.
You may experience mild redness, itching, and swelling after treatment, but these should soon resolve. Laser spider vein removal with our state-of-the-art Lutronic Clarity laser usually produces immediate results, with the spider veins continuing to fade away over the following four weeks. Once treated, the same veins will never reappear, leaving you with permanent results.
