Small visible veins can become increasingly noticeable on the legs and other areas of the body. Total Body Laser & Med Spa offers targeted laser spider vein treatment designed to reduce the appearance of appropriate superficial veins while minimizing unnecessary impact on surrounding skin.
One of the Best Ways to Deal with This Venulectasias Condition
Spider veins are the small red, purple or blue veins near the surface of the skin that form in a web-like pattern. Medically, they are known as venulectasias or telangiectasia. These veins are caused by increased pressure. The spider vein condition can develop on any body part but most commonly appears on the lower half of the body:
Some people with these perpetually dilated veins experience discomfort, and many consider them unsightly. Laser treatment is one of the best ways to deal with this condition.
The treatment uses a laser to remove the affected veins. Following the procedure, the vein will gradually completely disappear over several weeks. Typically, this is performed as an outpatient procedure. Thanks to accurate nature of the laser, the effects on the surrounding skin and tissue are kept to a minimum.
There are no major preparation steps for this treatment. However, you want to minimize sun exposure and avoid using aspirin, alcohol or smoking during the week prior to the procedure. Before arriving for the treatment, avoid any topical creams, lotions or moisturizers on the target area.
The number and size of the veins determine how many procedures are needed. Most patients require several treatments. These should be spaced a few weeks apart.
There can be some discomfort. However, we take measures to mitigate this. There may be a tingling sensation when the laser first activates, but few patients describe any pain.
The laser can leave a redness of the skin, similar to a cat scratch. In most cases, this disappears shortly after the procedure. The risks associated with the procedure are minimal and there are very rarely any complications.
The best way to determine if you are a candidate for laser treatment is to schedule a consultation with us. We will ensure you are eligible for the treatment and determine how many sessions will likely be needed.
There is currently no cure for this condition and new affected veins can develop. However, this treatment significantly improves the appearance of the veins. It provides a more youthful, healthy look and can even enhance the coloring of your skin.

WHEN TINY VEINS BECOME HIGHLY VISIBLE
Spider veins are small, visible blood vessels that appear close to the surface of the skin. They may look red, purple, or blue and often form thin lines, branches, or web-like patterns.
Medically known as telangiectasias, spider veins commonly appear on the legs and can become more noticeable over time. Common areas include the thighs, buttocks, ankles, and calves.
While many people are primarily bothered by their appearance, some visible veins can also be associated with discomfort.
COMMON SIGNS
Visible vessels may range from bright red to deeper purple or blue depending on their size, depth, and location.
Spider veins often form small branches or networks just beneath the skin.
They frequently become noticeable across the thighs, calves, ankles, and other areas of the lower body.
PRECISE LASER ENERGY
We examine the visible vessels, their size and location, and your treatment goals to determine whether they’re appropriate for cosmetic laser treatment.
Laser energy is directed toward the unwanted superficial vessel while limiting unnecessary treatment of surrounding tissue.
Following treatment, the targeted vessel can gradually become less visible as the body naturally processes the treated vein.
COMMON TREATMENT AREAS
Small networks of visible veins frequently develop across the upper legs.
Red, purple, and blue superficial vessels can become particularly noticeable across the lower legs.
Clusters of small visible vessels may develop around the ankle area.
Spider veins can develop elsewhere on the body. Treatment suitability depends on the size, location, and characteristics of the vessel.
PERSONALIZED TO YOUR VEINS
The number and size of visible veins influence the treatment plan, and multiple sessions may be recommended. We’ll estimate the number of sessions after evaluating your veins in person.
Several clusters generally require a different treatment plan than one small area.
Very small superficial vessels may respond differently from larger visible veins.
The location and size of the treatment area influence the overall plan.
Your body’s response to treatment also determines whether additional sessions are recommended.
WHAT TREATMENT FEELS LIKE
Some patients experience a brief tingling, snapping, or warming sensation when laser energy is delivered.
Comfort varies by person, treatment area, and the vessels being treated. Your provider will explain what to expect before treatment.
AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT
Temporary changes around the treatment area can occur after laser treatment. You may notice:
The treated vessel does not necessarily disappear immediately. Improvement develops as the targeted vessel responds to treatment and gradually becomes less visible.
BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT
Before your appointment, your provider will give you treatment-specific instructions. These may include minimizing sun exposure to the treatment area, arriving with clean skin, avoiding lotions or moisturizers on the treatment area, discussing medications and supplements that could affect treatment, and following any additional instructions provided during consultation.
VISIBLE VEIN REDUCTION
Individual results vary. Multiple treatments may be recommended.
AN IMPORTANT DISTINCTION
Laser treatment can reduce the appearance of appropriate existing spider veins, but new visible vessels may develop in the future. Factors contributing to visible veins can continue even after successful cosmetic treatment.
