Tiny Blood Vessel Spots

For years, Spider Vein Treatment spots consisted of one option: sclerotherapy, which involves injecting the veins with a chemical solution. Now we can treat small spider veins using a laser. The laser is applied to the skin over your spider veins. Laser energy causes your spider veins to coagulate and shrink. Usually there is no need for anesthesia; you will experience a feeling similar to a small rubber band snapping against your skin.

Over two to six weeks, your spider veins usually fade. After each treatment, you will see a 70% to 80% improvement in the appearance of face spider veins and 30-40% improvement in leg spider veins. An average of three treatments will be required at three-month intervals.

Unfortunately, laser therapy is not effective for larger spider veins. If you have a combination of large and small spider veins, you should consider sclerotherapy or surgical vein stripping for the larger ones first, followed later by laser treatment for the smaller ones.

However, laser therapy of facial spider veins is the treatment of choice. http://www.conbio.com/medical/pdf/medlite_patient_pigments.pdf

Laser treatment may cause minor bruising, which usually improves within a week, but often, recovery is immediate. Right after treatment, you may apply makeup and will be presentable.

Usually, an antibacterial ointment and a dress will be applied to the area immediately after treatment. The treated area should be kept clean with a continued application of any ointment given to you by your physician. A shower can be taken the next day, although the treated area should not be scrubbed.
