Spider veins, known as telangiectasias, are red, purple, and blue vessels that appear close to the surface of the skin. Smaller than varicose veins, spider veins commonly appear on the legs and on the cheeks, nose, and chin. They are caused by the natural effects of aging, sun damage, hormonal changes, and conditions such as rosacea. Many people with spider veins find them unsightly and a daily source of embarrassment. Although these superficial veins are most often not linked to larger health issues, they can be connected to vascular health problems in certain cases. As such, it is important for anyone suffering from spider veins to get screened during an evaluation conducted by our experienced San Diego varicose and spider vein treatment specialists.

Spider vein laser treatment is a clinically proven way to eliminate facial spider veins. Using Vari-Lite™ lasers, our specialists target unwanted spider veins with a beam of light that safely penetrates the skin. Heat from the light destroys the imperfections, which are then absorbed naturally by the body. The results are clear, rejuvenated, and natural looking skin achieved in a short, painless procedure. Patients are usually able to resume normal daily activities after treatment.

Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), spider vein laser treatment has proven highly effective in treating facial spider veins. It has also been used to treat, rosacea, pigmented lesions (lentigines and freckles), skin tags, keratosis, and other similar imperfections. Although results may vary from patient to patient, multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve optimal results. Regular use of sunscreen is recommended to prevent the risks of developing new facial spider veins.
