Spider veins, also known as telangiectasias, are small, thin blood vessels visible beneath the skin. They most commonly appear on the face and legs, and may resemble a series of lines, tree branches, or spider webs. Factors like heredity, pregnancy, and weight gain can contribute to the development of spider veins. While some people experience painful symptoms such as aching, burning, swelling, and cramping from spider veins, others are primarily concerned with their appearance.
At CN Medical Aesthetics & Wellness, we offer IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment exclusively for spider veins on the face. We do not treat spider veins on the body. This advanced, non-invasive solution effectively targets and reduces the appearance of facial spider veins, offering the following benefits:
- Fewer side effects
- Less trauma
- Shorter treatment time
- Shorter recovery time
- Minimal downtime
During IPL treatment, broad-spectrum light is directed at the facial spider veins, causing them to coagulate and eventually be absorbed by the body, minimizing their appearance with minimal discomfort.
After a thorough physical examination and a review of the patient's medical history and general health, the provider will determine if IPL treatment is the best option. This advanced procedure provides a safe and effective way to achieve clearer, more aesthetically pleasing skin on the face.
