How laser spider vein removal works
Laser spider vein removal uses a long-pulse laser tuned to a wavelength that blood absorbs. The light passes through the skin, heats the blood inside the tiny vein and seals it shut, and the skin around it is left alone. Your body then clears the closed vein, and it fades from view.
There are no needles and no incisions. A cooling tip or topical numbing keeps it comfortable, and most people describe a quick sting with each pulse.
Spider vein removal is used for:
- Small red, blue or purple veins on the legs

Your spider vein removal appointment, step by step
Consultation
Janeeh looks at the veins, their size and color, and confirms they're spider veins rather than something that needs a vein specialist.
Treatment
A topical anesthetic or cooling goes on first. The laser traces each vein in short pulses, and the whole session takes about 20 minutes.
The next few days
Mild swelling, itching or redness is normal and settles within 2 to 3 days.

Is laser spider vein removal painful?
Laser spider vein removal can be uncomfortable, but each pulse is brief and the whole session takes about 20 minutes. A topical anesthetic or cooling keeps it manageable. Most people describe a quick sting, like a small snap against the skin. Any tenderness afterward usually fades within a few days.
What are the side effects of spider vein removal?
The side effects of laser spider vein removal are usually minor: swelling, itching or redness in the treated area. These are expected to settle within 2 to 3 days. Keep the area out of the sun while it heals, and follow the aftercare instructions your provider gives you at the end of the visit.
Is laser spider vein removal permanent?
Laser spider vein removal is permanent for the veins that are treated, because the laser seals them shut and your body clears them away. It can't stop new spider veins from forming over time, though. Some people come back occasionally to treat new ones as they appear.
