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.
