Spider Veins Removal on the Face and Body

Spider veins are small clusters of red veins that appear on the cheeks, around the nose or on the chin. Although they are medically insignificant, they can be aesthetically unpleasing. The high quality vascular laser used at our clinic enables the gentle removal of even the tiniest veins. This method can also be used on smaller varicose veins on the legs. Vascular laser treatment can be combined with other classic methods of vein removal, i.e. sclerotisation, electrocoagulation or varicose vein surgery.

Candela VBeam Laser

The laser beam selectively binds red hemoglobin pigment and decomposes it. Treated vascular lesions are absorbed by the action of the immune system, depending on the age of the individual and the extent of the treatment.

Laser treatment usually does not require any hospital stay. We treat children aged 2 years and older. This procedure can be performed under general anesthetic for our younger patients and parents may be present throughout; they may sit next to the child’s bed or hold them on their lap. Immediately after the procedure, the treated area changes color, but it is still visible. Absorption takes place in the following weeks when treated vascular lesions are eliminated by the immune system.

We recommend covering the treated area with some healing ointment (e.g. Calcium panthotenicum) the first few days after the procedure. When sunbathing, a cream with high sun protection factor (50) should be used. Furthermore you should restrict physical activities and avoid hot baths.

A consultation with the physician is necessary before the procedure.

This treatment cannot be performed when the patient has tanned skin, is pregnant, or if the patient has decompensated diabetes, cancer or other serious conditions.
