Spider Vein & Broken Capillary Treatments
Eliminate unsightly spider veins and broken capillaries with innovative laser technology.
Spider veins and broken capillaries are small, dilated blood vessels that appear close to the skin’s surface. Spider veins, which resemble spider webs or tree branches, are commonly found on the legs and face and can be red, blue, or purple in color. Broken capillaries are commonly found on the face, particularly around the nose, cheeks, and chin, but can also occur on other areas of the body.
Spider veins often develop due to genetics, hormonal changes, pregnancy, obesity, prolonged sitting or standing, or sun exposure, while broken capillaries can develop due to factors including genetics, sun exposure, aging, hormonal changes, and skin trauma.

Quick Facts
Concerns
Broken Capillaries on the Face or Body, Spider Veins on the Body, Cherry Angiomas
How It Works
Precisely-focused beams of laser energy target unsightly vessels to collapse them, allowing them to be eliminated by the body.
Downtime
None
Results
One treatment yields visible results in most cases. Results visible immediately and improve over several days.
Why Laser?
Laser treatments are the most effective and efficient option for broken capillaries, cherry angiomas, and small, flat spider veins.
How Laser Treatments for Vascular Lesions Work
Laser treatments for spider veins, broken capillaries, and cherry angiomas work by delivering targeted bursts of light energy into the undesired veins. The heat from the laser causes the vein to collapse and gradually fade away. The procedure is precise, non-invasive, quick, and requires no downtime.
Unlike traditional vein removal surgeries, laser treatments require no incisions or needles, resulting in minimal discomfort and no downtime. Laser technology allows for precise targeting of the affected veins, minimizing damage to surrounding tissue.
Spider Vein Treatment FAQs
Who is a candidate for spider vein laser treatments?
Healthy individuals with one or more spider veins that are flat (not raised) may be good candidates for laser treatments. Each vessel must be narrow in diameter (typically no more than 2 mm), although the clusters may be large.
How quickly can I expect results?
You will see an immediate reduction in the visibility of the spider veins, but it may take up to a week for the area to heal.
How long do the results last?
A spider vein that has been eliminated cannot return, however laser treatments do not prevent to formation of new ones.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
There is no downtime after treatment, and you can return to normal activities. The area may be iritated, resembling a cat scratch. This can take 4-6 days to heal, and you should keep the area clean and follow any instructions provided to you.
How many treatments do I need?
The majority of patients only need one treatment. In some cases with more challenging veins, a second treatment may be needed for complete results.
