Spider Veins of the Face and Legs
Spider veins of the face and legs bother millions of people. Spider veins are red, bluish or purple veins that can result from sun exposure, use of oral contraception, hormone therapy, the aging process, or heredity. Spider veins are small to mid sized veins, while telangiectasias are thinner and finer vessels.
Advanced laser technology 
offers an effective treatment of
spider veins and telangiectasias. Our Cynosure™ Elite laser
offers the technology to target these areas more effectively
than multiple sclerotherapy sessions.
How does this laser work?
With a beam of light, the laser can deliver a prescribed dose
of energy to the damaged spider veins. The laser “selectively”
coagulates the problem veins while sparing surrounding areas.
After treatment, the vessel slowly and naturally disappears.
How many treatments are required?
Results are seen within three to four weeks. Typically, one to
two treatments are recommended.
Can I be sure that this will work on my veins?
This is something that must be determined with each patient
individually, but the majority of patients will benefit from this
treatment.
Is this treatment difficult?
No. This non-invasive process takes between 10 to 20
minutes, depending on your situation. After treatment, there
is no down time – which means you can resume all of your
normal activities immediately afterward.
Is this painful?
There is some minor discomfort associated with laser
treatment. Most patients describe the sensation as a series of rubber band
snaps to the skin.
