Understanding Spider Veins: Why Do We Get Them?

Spider veins are tiny, visible blood vessels that appear just beneath the skin’s surface. They typically develop due to weakened valves and poor circulation, which causes blood to pool rather than flow efficiently back to the heart. Factors such as genetics, prolonged standing or sitting, hormonal fluctuations, age, and pregnancy can increase the likelihood of developing spider veins, making certain individuals more susceptible than others.

Quick Summary of Laser Vein Removal

Cost & Pricing

Laser vein removal typically ranges between $100 to $200 per session, depending on the size, location, and complexity of the treated veins.

Treatment & Procedure

The procedure uses targeted laser energy to safely heat and collapse unwanted veins, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins without affecting surrounding tissues.

Mechanism of Action

Laser energy is absorbed by hemoglobin in veins, generating heat that damages vein walls, causing them to collapse, shrink, and eventually be naturally absorbed.

Benefits & Results

Laser vein removal effectively reduces visible spider veins and varicose veins, improves skin appearance, and boosts self-confidence with minimal discomfort and downtime required.

Side Effects & Downtime

Mild redness, swelling, bruising, and slight discomfort are common, typically resolving within days. Normal activities resume immediately, though strenuous exercise is discouraged briefly.

Discomfort & Pain Level

Minimal to moderate discomfort described as brief snaps or stings during laser pulses, manageable with topical cooling and typically well-tolerated without anesthesia.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is spider vein removal painful?

Most clients describe the sensation as a mild tingling or snapping feeling. Discomfort is minimal, and no anesthesia is required.

The number of treatments required for optimal spider vein removal results typically varies depending on the severity, size, and extent of the veins being treated. Most patients at Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre see significant improvement after approximately two to four laser sessions, spaced about four to six weeks apart. During your initial consultation, our specialists will evaluate your specific condition and recommend a personalized treatment plan tailored to your aesthetic goals.

No, most clients resume daily activities immediately. Some redness or swelling may occur but fade quickly.

Minor bruising can occasionally occur after laser spider vein removal at Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre, but is typically minimal and resolves within several days. To reduce the risk of bruising, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements for several days before treatment, as advised by our specialists.

Laser spider vein removal at Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre is most effective for small to medium-sized spider veins, typically less than 3 millimeters in diameter, located close to the skin’s surface. Veins deeper than approximately 2 millimeters beneath the skin or larger varicose veins may not respond adequately to laser treatments. During your consultation, our specialists will assess your veins’ size and depth to determine if laser therapy is the most appropriate solution for your needs or if alternative treatments might offer better results.

Prior to your laser spider vein removal at Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre, avoid sun exposure, tanning, and topical retinoids for at least two weeks. It’s also recommended to stop using blood-thinning medications or supplements (like aspirin or vitamin E) several days before treatment to minimize bruising. During your consultation, our specialists will provide detailed instructions tailored to your specific needs.

While spider vein treatments are generally safe, some potential side effects include:
  • Temporary Redness: The treated area may appear red or flushed immediately after the procedure.
  • Swelling: Mild swelling can occur but typically subsides within a few days.
  • Bruising: Some clients may experience minor bruising at the treatment site.
  • Skin Discoloration: Rarely, there may be temporary changes in skin pigmentation.
Our team at Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre takes every precaution to minimize risks and will provide you with comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
