NO MORE SPIDER VEINS!
Spider veins are small, damaged veins that can appear on the surface of the legs or face. They are usually not painful or harmful, but some people may wish to treat them for cosmetic reasons.
Spider veins can be blue, purple, or red and may appear in the form of thin lines, webs, or branches. People sometimes also refer to them as thread veins.
A range of treatments can remove spider veins or reduce their appearance.
Laser treatment
Laser is to treat spider veins that are smaller than 3 millimeters and close to the surface of the skin. The laser is a strong, focused beam of light that causes the spider vein to clot and dry up.
Laser treatments are less invasive than sclerotherapy or closure system because there is no injection.
Endovenous laser therapy (EVLT)
EVLT is a newer procedure for the treatment of spider veins and small varicose veins.
A small incision should be done in the affected vein and then a laser fiber is inserted. The laser applies heat directly to the vein and causes it to collapse. The vein may take several months or up to a year to disappear.
EVLT involves the use of local anesthesia.
