What Are Spider Veins?

Spider veins (also called telangiectasias) are small, dilated blood vessels that appear just under the skin. They look like fine red, blue, or purple lines and can occur anywhere on the body, but are most common on the legs, face, and chest.

Unlike varicose veins, spider veins are usually not a medical problem, but they can cause:

  • Cosmetic concerns.
  • Itching or mild discomfort.
  • Increased visibility with age or sun exposure.

Causes of Spider Veins

  • Genetics (family history).
  • Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause, birth control pills).
  • Prolonged standing or sitting.
  • Sun exposure (especially for facial spider veins).
  • Skin aging and thinning.
  • Obesity or lack of exercise.
  • Injury can damage veins and lead to spider veins
  • Previous vein conditions  untreated varicose veins or venous insufficiency

Why Nd:YAG Laser for Spider Veins?

  • The Nd:YAG (Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) laser is the gold-standard for treating spider veins on the face and body. It works by delivering a precise wavelength of light (1064 nm) that penetrates the skin and targets blood vessels without harming surrounding tissue.

  • The heat from the laser causes the vein walls to collapse and seal. Over time, the treated veins are naturally reabsorbed by the body, leaving the skin clearer and smoother.

Benefits of Nd:YAG Laser for Spider Veins

  • Non-invasive – no needles, no surgery.
  • Precise & safe – targets vessels without damaging skin.
  • Versatile – suitable for face, legs, chest, and body.
  • Minimal discomfort – cooling technology makes treatment comfortable.
  • Quick sessions – 15–30 minutes depending on treated area.
  • No downtime – resume normal activities immediately.
  • Long-lasting results – once treated, spider veins typically do not return.
