Spider Vein Treaments
Spider Veins Laser Treatment
Spider veins are small, visible blood vessels that appear close to the surface of the skin, most commonly on the legs and face. While they are usually harmless, many people seek treatment for cosmetic reasons or because spider veins can be associated with discomfort, heaviness, or fatigue in the legs.
At MD Touch Aesthetics & Wellness, we offer advanced laser treatment for spider veins using state-of-the-art technology designed to safely and effectively reduce the appearance of unwanted veins while preserving surrounding skin.
What Are Spider Veins?
Spider veins are tiny dilated blood vessels that appear red, blue, or purple and often resemble a web or branching pattern. They can develop due to:
Genetics
Hormonal changes
Pregnancy
Aging
Prolonged standing or sitting
Sun exposure (especially on the face)
While spider veins are different from larger varicose veins, they can still impact skin appearance and confidence.
How Laser Treatment for Spider Veins Works
Laser treatment uses focused light energy to target spider veins beneath the skin. The laser gently heats the vessel, causing it to collapse and seal shut. Over time, the body naturally absorbs the treated vein, allowing it to fade from view.
This non-invasive approach treats spider veins without needles or incisions, making it an excellent option for patients seeking visible improvement with minimal downtime.

Spider Veins Treatment FAQs
Laser treatment with Aerolase® for clearer, healthier-looking skin
Spider veins are small, visible blood vessels that appear near the surface of the skin, commonly on the legs and face. They are usually red, blue, or purple.
Spider veins can be caused by genetics, hormonal changes, pregnancy, prolonged standing, aging, and sun exposure.
Aerolase uses advanced laser energy to safely heat and collapse spider veins, allowing the body to naturally reabsorb them over time.
Yes. Aerolase is effective for treating small spider veins on the legs and face, especially superficial vessels.
Most patients require 2–4 treatments depending on the size, number, and location of spider veins.
Treatment is generally well tolerated. Patients describe a mild warming or snapping sensation. No needles or anesthesia are required.
There is little to no downtime. Mild redness may occur but typically resolves within a few hours to a day.
Some improvement may be seen within weeks, with continued fading of spider veins over 6–12 weeks as the body clears the treated vessels.
Treated spider veins do not return; however, new veins may develop over time. Maintenance treatments can help preserve results.
Most healthy adults with visible spider veins are good candidates. A consultation is required to determine the best treatment approach.
