The tiny, red or blue, thread-like spider veins seen on the surface of your skin at various locations on your body, can often be removed with a topical laser treatment. We use a laser that penetrates the superficial blood vessel. The temperature of the laser heats the blood inside the vessel, causing it to collapse and seal. The vessel will slowly disappear and be absorbed by the body.  The directed focus of the tiny laser means that the spider vein is destroyed without damaging nearby, healthy tissue. You will feel a pinching sensation as the laser fires, but topical laser treatment is purely superficial and will not limit you will be able to return to normal activities several hours after treatment.
