What Causes Spider Veins?
The exact cause of spider veins is not always known, but contributing factors may include:
Genetics
Pregnancy
Hormonal changes
Weight gain
Leg injury
Prolonged standing or sitting
How Laser Vein Therapy Works
Laser vein therapy uses targeted laser energy to treat unwanted veins without damaging surrounding tissue. The laser light is absorbed by the blood vessel, gently heating it and causing the blood to clot. Over time, the body naturally reabsorbs the treated vein, allowing it to fade from view.
Treatment Experience
Quick & Efficient Sessions
Laser technology allows treatment of larger areas efficiently, with each session typically taking only a few minutes, depending on the size and number of veins treated.
How Many Treatments Are Needed?
Most clients require 1–3 treatments, spaced approximately six weeks apart, depending on the severity of the veins. While treatment removes existing veins, it cannot prevent new ones from forming.
Comfort & Recovery
Laser vein therapy is generally described as mildly uncomfortable but not painful. Temporary redness, swelling, or bruising may occur and typically resolves within a few hours. Any temporary changes in skin color usually return to normal over time.
Post-Treatment Care
To ensure optimal results, clients are advised to avoid:
Hot tubs
Vigorous exercise
Aspirin
Alcohol
for three days following treatment.
Alternative Treatment Option
Sclerotherapy is a non-laser alternative that may be recommended in certain cases. This method typically requires multiple sessions, with treated vessels gradually disappearing over approximately six months.
