Description of Procedure

Although many spider veins in other parts of the body are most often removed through a process called sclerotherapy, facial spider veins are usually too small to be effectively treated in this way. When the veins are small and close to the skin's surface, laser removal is often the most effective treatment.

The laser is used to selectively target and destroy the red coloration of the spider veins, without damaging the surrounding tissue. The procedure is relatively quick, and no anesthesia is needed. After treatment, the skin can be noticeably more uniform and natural in appearance.
