What is a Spider Vein?
Spider veins are small, red or purple dilated blood vessels located close to the surface of the skin. They are commonly found on the face, around the nose, cheeks, and legs. While they are typically harmless, they can be a cosmetic concern for many individuals. Transdermal laser therapy offers an effective, non-invasive treatment option.
What is Transdermal Laser Therapy?
Transdermal laser therapy is a non-invasive procedure that targets spider veins using laser light applied externally to the skin. The laser energy is absorbed by hemoglobin within the vein, generating heat that causes the vein walls to collapse and close. The treated veins are eventually absorbed by the body. No incisions or needles are used during this treatment.
How is the Procedure Performed?
- Evaluation: The skin and vein structure are evaluated before treatment.
- Laser Application: A laser with an appropriate wavelength is applied to the targeted area.
- Cooling System: A cooling device is used to protect the skin and enhance patient comfort.
- Session Duration: Treatment duration depends on the size of the area being treated.
Patients can typically return to their daily activities immediately after the procedure.

- Quick Recovery: Minimal downtime after the procedure.
- Visible Results: Significant reduction in the appearance of spider veins.
- Versatile Application: Can be used on the face, legs, and other areas.

- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
