Our Lutronic Clarity II Laser can treat vascular lesions also known as spider veins. The laser works by applying heat to the vessel targeting the hemoglobin within the vessel. This will ablate or shrink the vessel so that it is no longer visible without damaging the surrounding tissue. More than one treatment is necessary for the best results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Spider veins are formed by the dilation of a small group of blood vessels located close to the surface of the skin. Although they can appear anywhere on the body, spider veins are most commonly found on the face and legs. The exact cause of spider veins is unknown, although heredity, pregnancy, trauma, aging, sun damage and hormonal influences are believed to be primary factors contributing to the condition. 

The most common type of treatment for spider veins is laser therapy. The laser beam will travel through the skin targeting the pigment in the blood, which will heat the vessel wall causing the vein to collapse. 

Treatment time is dependent upon the area that is being treated. Most treatment sessions will take 15-30 minutes. 

For best results multiple treatments are recommended.
