How The treatment Works
At Cosmetic Laser Solutions MedSpa, we specialize in the effective treatment of spider veins using advanced laser technologies. Our minimally invasive procedures are designed to target and eliminate unsightly veins, helping you achieve clearer, healthier-looking skin.
Spider Vein Removal & Laser Vein Treatment in Boston, MA
During the laser vein removal procedure, a special hand piece delivers heat to the targeted vein. We use 2 different laser devices for vascular conditions: Candela GentleYAG® laser and Magma IPL.
This heat forces the blood vessel to coagulate, causing it to be slowly destroyed and absorbed by the body. The process can take up to 30-minutes to complete and the recovery time is minimal.
What Are Spider Veins & Why Do They Appear?
Spider veins are small, thread-like sized damaged blood vessels that appear close to the skin’s surface, often forming web-like patterns. They commonly develop on the face, chest, or legs and can be red, blue, or purple in color. While typically harmless, spider veins can cause discomfort and may lead to more serious issues if left untreated
While they are not painful, spider veins are not aesthetically pleasing and they can be embarrassing. Depending on your particular needs, we would select a device best suited to your condition.
Laser can quickly and effectively remove spider veins with minimal discomfort. You should not have sun exposure in the area to be treated pre- and post-treatment for at least 4 weeks.
Besides spider veins on your legs, we can also treat vessels that are on other areas of your body, such as the neck or chest. Additional vascular conditions such as angiomas and rosacea can also be treated with a laser device.
Safe & Effective Laser Vein Therapy for Clear, Healthy Skin and More
Laser treatment is an effective, safe, and relatively painless method to reduce spider veins. The laser beam causes the vein to collapse and your body absorbs the damaged vessel over a 4-6 week period.
Causes of Spider Veins & Vascular Conditions
Several factors contribute to spider veins, broken capillaries, and rosacea, including:
✔ Heredity: A family history of vein conditions
✔ Hormonal Changes: Puberty, pregnancy, menopause
✔ Prolonged Sitting or Standing: Poor circulation weakens veins
✔ Pregnancy & Weight Fluctuations: Increased pressure on blood vessels
