Spider veins of the legs, face and other benign vascular lesions are among the most difficult and challenging conditions to treat. There are a number of laser manufacturers who claim their lasers can treat small red spider veins.

The Esthetic Laser Centre believes that the current best laser treatment for leg veins is the pulsed YAG laser light with a wavelength of 1064 nm. This longer wavelength energy easily passes through the skin and does not interfere with pigment, enabling successful treatment of any skin type at any time during the year. Even better, this vein treatment is administered with little discomfort to the patient, no down time and no compression wrapping. Treatment usually takes multiple sessions which are determined at the time of your consultation.

In spite of the advancement in laser technology leg spider veins are best treated initially with sclerotherapy. On the other hand, those patients with spider veins of the face actually get better results from Laser treatments.
