All about laser treatment for spider veins

Spider veins are small, bluish shimmering veins that are particularly noticeable on the upper and lower legs. They are caused by reduced elasticity of the veins, which causes the vein walls to expand over time and become bluish under the skin. Vascular changes can also occur on the face. Here they are usually reddish and are also known as telangiectasias.

How do spider veins develop?

The causes of spider veins include:

• Lack of exercise
• High blood pressure
• Overweight
• Pregnancy
• Hormonal contraceptives
• Nicotine and alcohol

The good news is that with exercise and a healthy lifestyle we can do a lot to Spider vein prevention can contribute. The bad news: spider veins are partly also hereditary. But there are also methods to get rid of these annoying little veins.

ALMA Q laser system

At OmniMed we fully rely on the laser treatment for spider veins. For this purpose, the Nd:YAG laser system ALMA Q is used, as it has the necessary wavelength for an effective treatment of spider veins. The bluish veins are usually located deeper under the skin. Thinner, more reddish veins, on the other hand, can be treated excellently with the additional use of our green-light KTP laser to treat them. The ideal combination of laser devices and the treatment duration are determined individually for each patient at OmniMed in a consultation.

Individual laser treatment against spider veins

After we have, as part of the initial consultation clarified all important details such as the area to be treated, the required number of sessions, the expected result and the costs, the laser treatment for spider veins can begin immediately. During the treatment, which lasts between 10 and 45 minutes, the skin is protected by its own cooling system protected. If more than one treatment is required, these take place at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks. Costs are charged according to the time required, with 15 minutes costing €100 and in that time we can treat an area of 50–70 cm².
