LASER REMOVAL OF SPIDER VEINS

Spider veins (vascular spiders, telangiectasias) appear on the skin due to the expansion of small vessels. They come in various shapes and colors, ranging from pale pink to deep red with a bluish tinge. Most often, this pattern is formed on the face, arms, and legs. It may be almost invisible at first, but over time it gets larger and darker.

The vascular mesh does not lend itself to conservative treatment, but it can be easily removed with a laser. This is an efficient and safe procedure in which a cosmetologist selectively influences small vessels with light or radio wave energy, thereby reducing them.

HOW IS THE PROCEDURE OF spider veins LASER REMOVAL performed

During the appointment, the cosmetologist first assesses the condition of the patient’s skin, the size of the vascular net and the depth of its location, and eliminates the presence of contraindications in the patient. Then, depending on this, the specialist selects the device on which the procedure will be performed and sets the corresponding settings.

After completing the preparatory stage, the cosmetologist applies a special gel to the skin and sequentially processes the necessary area with a laser. This procedure usually takes only a few minutes. After that, the doctor removes the remnants of the gel and applies a soothing cream to the skin.

The laser affects only the vessels during the procedures, while the skin does not suffer, and no traces remain.

In some cases, several sessions may be required to remove the spider veins.
