Spider Vein Removal

BOOK AN APPOINTMENT

We’ve all noticed those tiny veins that seem to pop up out of nowhere on our legs or face. Regardless of where they appear, spider veins can be frustrating from a cosmetic standpoint and sometimes even cause discomfort. These veins are the result of malfunctioning valves in feeder veins, which cause blood to flow backward instead of toward the heart. As a result, the blood accumulates in non-functional veins beneath the skin’s surface, leading to the development of spider veins.

At Laser and Skin Esthetics of Canada Inc. we offer laser spider vein removal. Utilizing our advanced, medical-grade laser technology, we can eliminate these small veins, revealing a more balanced and clear skin tone on the legs or face. While spider veins are prevalent, especially among women, it’s essential to carefully assess certain areas of the body before proceeding with treatment. Therefore, we recommend a complimentary consultation prior to treatment.

Here are Some Common Causes of Spider Veins:

  • Prolonged standing or sitting
  • Rapid weight gain or obesity
  • Use of birth control pills
  • Sun exposure
  • Hereditary factors (a family history of spider veins)
  • Hormonal fluctuations, particularly during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause
  • Previous history of blood clots
  • Leg injuries
  • Postmenopausal hormonal replacement therapy
  • Conditions such as tumors, constipation, and others that increase abdominal pressure

Implementing certain habits can prevent spider veins from worsening or forming, and many of these can easily be integrated into your daily routine. Here are a few ways we recommend preventing spider veins.

Preventing Spider Veins

  • Maintain a healthy weight: Excess body weight can increase pressure on leg muscles and blood vessels, leading to the development or exacerbation of spider veins.
  • Stay active: Prolonged periods of sitting can cause blood to pool in the lower body veins, contributing to the formation of spider veins. Incorporating regular movement into your day can help prevent this.
  • Apply sunscreen: Sunscreen not only protects against skin cancer and premature aging but also helps prevent spider veins from appearing on the face by shielding the skin from harmful UV rays.
  • Opt for low-heeled shoes: Choosing low-heeled footwear for everyday wear can facilitate healthy blood circulation, which is beneficial for preventing spider veins.
  • Limit exposure to hot tubs and saunas: Extended exposure to high temperatures in hot tubs and saunas can potentially cause blood vessel damage, increasing the risk of spider veins. It’s advisable to use these amenities in moderation.

How it Works

Spider vein removal with the Q-Plus Star 1 works through a precise and non-invasive laser treatment that targets and reduces the appearance of spider veins. Here’s how it works:

Laser Targeting:1

The Q-Plus Star 1 utilizes a focused beam of laser light that is absorbed by the hemoglobin within the blood vessels of the spider veins.

Heat Induction:2

The absorbed laser energy is converted into heat, which causes the blood within the vein to coagulate. This process damages the vein walls, leading to the collapse and sealing of the spider vein.

Natural Absorption:3

Over time, the body naturally reabsorbs the treated vein, causing it to gradually fade and disappear from view. The surrounding skin is left unharmed, as the laser specifically targets the spider veins.

Treatment Sessions:4

Depending on the number, size, and location of the spider veins, multiple treatment sessions may be necessary to achieve the desired results. Each session typically lasts between 15 to 30 minutes.

Minimal Discomfort:5

The treatment is generally well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort, such as a slight stinging sensation during the procedure.

Post-Treatment Care: 6

After the procedure, patients may experience slight redness or swelling, which typically resolves within a few hours. There is minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to their normal activities quickly.

Results:7

As the treated veins are reabsorbed, the appearance of spider veins is significantly reduced, leading to clearer and smoother skin. This method is a safe and effective way to reduce the appearance of spider veins without the need for invasive surgery or lengthy recovery times.

Benefits to Laser Spider Vein Removal

Laser spider vein removal offers numerous benefits, making it a popular choice for individuals seeking to improve the appearance of their skin. Here are the key advantages:

Non-Invasive Treatment1

Laser spider vein removal is a non-surgical procedure that requires no incisions or injections, making it a safe and comfortable option for most patients.

Effective Results2

The laser precisely targets and treats spider veins, leading to noticeable reduction or complete removal of the veins over time.

Minimal Discomfort3

The treatment is generally well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort, such as a brief stinging sensation, during the procedure.

Quick Procedure4

Each treatment session is relatively short, typically lasting between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the number and size of the spider veins being treated.

Minimal Downtime5

Patients can return to their normal activities almost immediately after the procedure, as there is little to no downtime required.

Safe for Most Skin Types6

The Cynosure Elite Plus laser is designed to treat a wide range of skin types safely and effectively, making it accessible to a broader group of individuals.

Long-Lasting Results7

Once the treated spider veins are absorbed by the body, they do not typically return, providing long-lasting results.

Improves Skin Appearance8

Laser treatment helps improve the overall appearance of the skin by reducing the visibility of spider veins, leading to smoother and more even-toned skin.

Boosts Confidence9

Many patients experience increased confidence and satisfaction with their appearance after laser spider vein removal, as the treated areas become clearer and more aesthetically pleasing.

No Scarring10

The laser treatment does not cause scarring, which is a common concern with other methods of vein removal. The skin heals naturally and evenly.

These benefits make laser spider vein removal an appealing option for those looking to enhance the appearance of their skin with a safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment.

Who is Laser Spider Vein Removal for

Spider vein removal is suitable for individuals who:

Have Visible Spider Veins1

It’s ideal for those with noticeable spider veins, which are small, dilated blood vessels that appear close to the surface of the skin, often on the legs or face. These veins can be red, blue, or purple and may cause cosmetic concerns.

Experience Discomfort from Spider Veins2

While spider veins are generally painless, some people may experience discomfort, such as itching or aching, particularly after standing for long periods. Laser removal can help alleviate these symptoms.

Seek a Non-Invasive Solution3

Individuals who prefer a non-surgical and minimally invasive treatment option may find laser spider vein removal appealing. It requires no incisions or injections, making it a safer and less invasive alternative to surgical options.

Want to Improve Skin Appearance4

Those who are self-conscious about the appearance of spider veins and want to improve the look of their skin may choose this treatment. It can enhance the skin’s overall appearance by reducing or eliminating visible veins.

Have Tried Other Treatments5

People who have not achieved satisfactory results with other treatments, such as sclerotherapy (injections) or topical creams, might opt for laser treatment as an alternative or complementary approach.

Are in Good Overall Health6

Candidates should generally be in good health, without severe vascular conditions or underlying health issues that could interfere with healing or the effectiveness of the treatment.

Are Not Pregnant7

Laser treatment for spider veins is typically not recommended during pregnancy. Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should consult their healthcare provider for alternative options.

Have Realistic Expectations8

Individuals who understand that multiple sessions may be needed and that results may vary depending on factors like skin type, vein size, and location are ideal candidates. It’s important to have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the treatment.

Prefer Minimal Downtime9

Those with busy lifestyles who need a quick procedure with minimal recovery time will benefit from this treatment, as it allows for a fast return to normal activities.

Desire Long-Lasting Results10

People seeking a long-term solution to spider veins may choose laser removal, as treated veins generally do not return, providing enduring improvements in skin appearance.

This treatment is especially popular among individuals looking to enhance their appearance and confidence without the risks and recovery associated with more invasive procedures.
