Laser Spider Vein Treatment

Laser treatment may be considered to reduce the appearance of selected superficial spider veins on the face or legs. Suitability depends on vessel characteristics, location, skin and individual assessment.

This category focuses on small branching vessels. It overlaps with the broader vascular category and does not imply a different device or a guaranteed response.

Selected small superficial facial vessels.

Selected spider veins on the legs where laser treatment is appropriate.

Whether another approach or further medical assessment would be more suitable.

Laser energy can be absorbed by hemoglobin in selected blood vessels, producing a targeted thermal effect. Your provider must confirm the appropriate device configuration and protocol; not every visible vein is suitable.

• May diminish the visibility of selected superficial vessels.
• A treatment plan matched to the location and characteristics of the vessels.
• An opportunity to compare suitable options after assessment.

• Assessment includes the vessel's size, depth and location, skin characteristics, health history and symptoms. Larger bulging veins, pain, swelling or other concerning symptoms may need medical evaluation beyond an aesthetic consultation. Treatment of surface appearance does not establish or treat the cause of an underlying circulation problem.
