Do spider veins go away?
Spider veins can, in most cases, go completely away from laser therapy. By treating in as little as 4 sessions, facial spider veins can fade quickly and safely.
Laser for spider vein removal
The Aerolase laser is the best option for treating facial spider veins- Aerolase’s cutting-edge technology is the most safe, effective, and pain-free treatment option.
By treating with the Aerolase laser, the transmitted photos are absorbed by the blood cells in the veins, which generates heat that destroys the blood vessel- The damaged vein shrinks and eventually dissolves over time.
