Many people are embarrassed by the appearance of spider veins on the face or legs. Spider veins are actually dilated or stretched blood vessels that appear on the legs, not "broken" blood vessels, as is commonly thought. Their precise cause is unknown, but it is thought that heredity, excessive standing, weight gain, hormonal changes and pregnancy may be some of the causes.

With today's technology, there's absolutely no reason why you can't have smoother, younger looking skin. The laser professionals at our clinic are experts in this area, as well as personal service.

Spider veins, or telangiectasias, are those tiny purple and red blood vessels found most commonly on the thighs or lower legs of men and women.  They usually are hereditary and can form anywhere on the leg, from the top of the thigh to the ankle.  Occasionally, spider veins even appear on the face.

Varicose veins are larger.  They can appear raised with a bluish color and can become quite painful.  Although spider veins and varicose veins carry blood, they are not part of the flow of blood that occurs in normal veins.  Blood found in varicose and spider veins, flows away from the heart instead of toward it, and ends up collecting in these vessels, ultimately distending them.

There are several effective methods for spider vein removal and varicose vein removal. PhotoDerm Vasculight Laser are our preferred procedure for varicose vein removal. Simple, painless laser surgery is used for spider vein removal.

Sometimes sclerotherapy (injections of veins) may be necessary in combination with the laser treatments to make sure the larger, deeper underlying “feeder” veins are addressed and to minimize their return in the future.
