Spider vein treatment reduces the appearance of visible veins using advanced laser or injection-based techniques.
Spider vein treatment uses targeted energy to reduce the appearance of small visible veins, most commonly on the legs. Nd:YAG laser technology delivers precise energy to the affected vessels while minimizing impact to surrounding skin. This approach is non surgical and generally requires little to no downtime. Results develop gradually as the body clears treated vessels over time.
During treatment, laser energy is directed at the spider veins. The energy is absorbed by hemoglobin, causing the vein to coagulate and shrink.
Over time, the body clears the treated vessels, leading to a smoother, more even appearance. Multiple sessions may be recommended depending on the number, size, and location of the veins.
Mild redness or bruising can occur and usually resolves within a few days. Aftercare may include avoiding prolonged sun exposure and, in some cases, wearing compression stockings depending on the area treated and your provider guidance.
Most patients return to normal activities quickly, but you will receive specific instructions based on your treatment plan.
