Spider veins are small, dilated blood vessels that appear as red or blue lines on the skin. They are most common on the legs, but they can also appear on the face and other areas of the body. Spider veins are often caused by poor circulation, hormonal changes, or sun damage. While they are not a serious health condition, they can be unsightly and may cause some discomfort.

There are a number of treatments available for spider veins, including sclerotherapy, laser therapy, and endovenous laser ablation (EVLA). Of these treatments, laser therapy is often considered the most effective and least invasive.

How does laser spider vein removal work?

Laser spider vein removal uses a concentrated beam of light to destroy the blood vessels. The light is absorbed by the blood vessels, which causes them to collapse and disappear. Laser treatment is typically performed in a doctor’s office and takes only a few minutes. There is no downtime associated with the procedure, and most people can return to their normal activities immediately afterward.
