What Is Spider Vein Therapy?

Tired of wearing long pants year round due to unsightly spider veins/discoloration? Wanting to feel confident in your own skin again but unsure of where to turn? Genesis Cosmetic Laser Center has the answer!

Picture this: a tiny laser beam zapping away at intravascular oxyhemoglobin, basically saying ""bye-bye"" to veins. As the blood absorbs the laser's energy, it heats up and destroys the vein walls. This non-invasive treatment can be done on any part of your body, leaving you with smooth, flawless skin. The secret ingredient? The Nd:YAG, which is key to making this cosmetic magic work like a charm, delivering long-lasting results.

Spider Vein Therapy FAQs

Spider veins, also known as telangiectasias, are small, thin blood vessels that appear as red, blue, or purple lines or web-like patterns on the skin's surface. They are typically found on the legs or face and are often caused by the dilation of tiny blood vessels.

Spider veins can be caused by various factors, including genetics, hormonal changes (such as pregnancy or menopause), obesity, prolonged standing or sitting, and sun exposure. They are more common in women than in men.

Spider vein therapy refers to a range of medical and cosmetic treatments designed to reduce or eliminate the appearance of spider veins. These therapies target the affected blood vessels, causing them to collapse or fade away.

There are several spider vein therapy options available, including:

  • Laser therapy: Laser energy is used to target and heat the blood vessels, causing them to collapse and be reabsorbed by the body.
  • Radiofrequency (RF) ablation: RF energy is used to heat and close off spider veins.

The level of discomfort during spider vein therapy can vary depending on the specific procedure and individual pain tolerance. Many patients describe the sensation as mild to moderate discomfort or a slight stinging or burning sensation. Local anesthesia or numbing cream may be applied to minimize pain during treatment.

The number of spider vein therapy sessions required depends on the extent of the condition and the treatment method used. Some patients may see significant improvement after one session, while others may require multiple treatments spaced a few weeks apart for optimal results.

There is typically little to no downtime after spider vein therapy. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure. Some redness, bruising, or swelling at the treatment site may occur but usually subsides within a few days.

Results from spider vein therapy may vary depending on the treatment method and individual response. Some improvement is often visible instantaneously, but it may take several weeks to see the full results as the treated veins gradually fade.

Good candidates for spider vein therapy are individuals with spider veins who are bothered by their appearance or experience discomfort. A consultation with a healthcare provider can help determine the most suitable spider vein therapy and treatment plan for your specific needs and goals.
