Spider Veins
The Science of Flaw Correction
Perfect skin just isn’t a reality for most of us, but for those of us who were either born with imperfections or developed them later in life, even having normal skin might seem like an unattainable dream. While we can’t work miracles, our MagnifaSkin clinicians can greatly reduce, or sometimes even completely erase the appearance of these flaws. Contact us today for a free consultation and take the first step to having the appearance you deserve.
Spider Veins Treatment
Small red, purple or blue blood vessels that twist and turn, and are visible through the skin, most frequently on the face and legs, spider veins are not to be confused with varicose veins, which are much larger and are raised above the level of the surrounding tissues.
The discoloration associated with spider veins is caused by blood pooling in the veins. As this blood deoxygenates it darkens, causing the veins to show through the skin. Non-Ablative laser therapy destroys these tiny blood vessels without harming the overlying skin. Because our bodies have millions of these tiny vessels, we can afford to lose the affected ones without any harm to our body whatsoever. The body will then flush away the destroyed tissues over time, and the visible veins will gradually disappear.

More pronounced varicose/leg veins may not be effectively treatable with laser therapy. For these cases, we also offer traditional sclerotherapy treatments. Click here for more information.
Spider Veins Treatment with the Aerolase LightPod Neo
All laser treatments at MagnifaSkin MedSpa are delivered with the revolutionary new Aerolase® LightPod Neo® medical laser. Delivering light pulses 30 – 50 times faster than other lasers, the Neo provides virtually pain free treatment. In fact many patients report feeling nothing at all other than a slight warming sensation. Other lasers, which deliver higher energy pulses of light at much longer intervals, result in the sensation of having a rubber band snapped against your skin. This is due to the large amount of energy being delivered with each pulse. Because the Neo reduces the amount of energy delivered with each pulse while greatly increasing the number of pulses, energy delivery is ‘smoothed out’, resulting in little or no sensation for your sensitive skin.
