Laser Spider Veins Treatment of facial spider veins is the treatment of choice. Laser spider vein treatment may cause minor bruising which usually improves within a week, but often, recovery is immediate. Two to four treatments may be required to achieve your desired result.

Zap Laser Center’s advanced technologies enables us to safely, easily and effectively use laser spider vein removal to treat these facial spider veins.. Many of our patients would like to be rid of these unattractive and sometimes embarrassing distractions.

We use a combination of two - three different lasers for spider vein removal. The combination of different lasers allows us to give you the safest most effective treatment. We use longer wavelength lasers ( 1064 Nd:Yag or 810 diode laser) for larger deeper veins and a shorter wavelength laser (532 KTP laser) for smaller more superficial veins. The laser treatment works by passing light through the skin heating up the blood in the vessel causing thermocoagulation of the vessel. The clogged vessel is then slowly absorbed by the body.

During laser spider vein treatment, the laser is applied to the skin over your spider veins. The laser light is absorbed by the red veins and causes your spider veins to coagulate and shrink. Laser spider vein treatments are most effective for small and medium size spider veins. Large spider veins respond poorly and are best treated with sclerotherapy. Treatments are associated with mild discomfort, not unlike a small rubber band snapping against skin. Treatments do not require sedatives, pain medications, or injections of local anesthetic. Immediately following treatment, spider veins will be darker and more visible. Over two to six weeks, your spider veins usually fade. After each treatment, you will see a significant improvement in the appearance of face spider veins and leg spider veins. An average of three treatments will be required. Combination therapy will be needed if you have small, medium, and large spider veins, you may benefit from both sclerotherapy and laser therapy. You may wish to start with sclerotherapy, because sometimes all veins will be improved after injecting the larger ones. This may reduce the number of veins that need to be treated by laser, and minimize your overall cost.
