Spider Veins
Laser treatment for small visible leg veins.
What it is
Spider veins are small red, blue or purple veins close to the skin's surface, often in a web pattern on the thighs, knees and lower legs. They're common and usually harmless, but many people want them less visible.
They're different from varicose veins, which are larger, raised and can cause symptoms. Those need a medical evaluation first.
Common causes
- Genetics
- Hormones, including pregnancy
- Standing or sitting for long periods
- Age
- Sun exposure
Areas
- Thighs
- Knees
- Lower legs
- Ankles
How we plan it
At your consultation we check that your veins are suitable for laser treatment. Larger or painful veins may need a vascular specialist, and we'll refer you if so.
Most people need a few sessions. New spider veins can still appear over time.
Frequently asked questions
Are spider veins dangerous?
They're usually a cosmetic concern. Pain, swelling or large bulging veins should be checked by a doctor.
How many sessions will I need?
Often a few, spaced weeks apart. It depends on the number and size of the veins.
Will they come back?
Treated veins usually fade, but new ones can form, so some people return for touch-ups.
Can I go in the sun after treatment?
Avoid sun on the area for a while and use sunscreen. We'll give you aftercare instructions.
