Spider veins exist closer to the surface of the skin than varicose veins and are smaller, appearing as blemishes.

No matter what skin shade, spider veins disappear, leaving your skin flawless as it's meant to be.

The Cutera Nd: YAG Laser heats up the blood within the spider vein so that it coagulates inside the vessel, collapsing and sealing unsupported vessel walls. Eventually, these vessels disappear completely by dissolving within the body. During a laser spider vein removal procedure at dermis, the only sensation felt when exposed to the device is mild stinging and burning. While it is minor, a topical anesthetic cream can be applied to further reduce any discomfort.

The results from treatments are unparalleled. Unlike traditional treatments and other lasers used for laser spider vein removal, the Cutera Nd: YAG Laser system completely eliminates or minimizes painful side effects, redness and bruising.

The appearance of treated vessels will change shades, turning from blue and purple into light red, then eventually disappearing in two to six weeks. Within a few hours following the procedure, bulging vessels or any inflammation will disappear.

Like many procedures involving heat, protection from the sun is highly recommended afterwards. Healing can be facilitated by wearing support hose. Medication containing aspirin should be avoided. An additional one to three laser spider vein removal treatments can be scheduled six weeks apart to treat new spider veins. Those with a tendency towards vascular problems will most likely require additional treatments.
