What are spider veins?

Spider veins are small, dilated blood vessels that show through the skin. Red and purple veins lie superficially in the skin, while blue veins lie slightly deeper. They are harmless, but many people find them bothersome.

Spider veins can develop without a clear cause. Factors that play a role include genetic predisposition, occupations requiring prolonged standing, pregnancy, and conditions that weaken the vascular wall.

Our skin therapists always provide honest advice tailored to your wishes and skin.

Why laser therapy for spider veins?

Spider veins no longer serve a function for blood circulation in your legs. Therefore, they can be safely treated. Laser therapy for spider veins:

Treats the veins precisely, without damaging the surrounding skin
Is suitable for red, purple, and blue veins
Provides lasting results: treated veins do not return
Requires no anesthesia and no recovery time

Treatment Process

Below you can read step-by-step how the laser treatment for spider vein removal proceeds.

Free consultation with the skin therapist

During the free consultation, the skin therapist examines your spider veins and asks about your medical background. Are there also varicose veins or other vascular problems? In that case, we advise you to consult a doctor first.

Preparation for the treatment

The area to be treated is cleaned. Your skin must be clean and undamaged, without body lotion or self-tanner.

The treatment

The skin therapist treats the veins with a laser. The laser light is absorbed by the blood in the vessel and converted into heat, which closes off the vessel. You will feel the pulses as a short, warm prick. Simultaneously, the skin is cooled. The treatment lasts 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area.

Recovery after the treatment

After the treatment, the skin may be slightly red. You will receive clear aftercare instructions from your skin therapist. If desired, you can relax for a while before resuming your daily activities.

Follow-up appointment

For the best results, an average of 2 to 6 treatments are needed, with 6 to 8 weeks in between. You can schedule a follow-up appointment directly at the clinic.

Pre- and post-care

Before the treatment

Arrive with clean skin, free of body lotion or self-tanner. Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for weeks before the treatment: tanned skin cannot be treated safely. Do not come to the appointment with damaged or sunburned skin.

After the treatment

For the first 5 days, avoid sports, saunas, hot baths, and swimming pools. Protect the treated skin from the sun and use SPF30+ daily on the treated area.

Recovery time

No recovery time is needed. The treated spots may be red or slightly swollen for the first few days. Your body's clearing of the veins takes up to 10-12 weeks.

Duration of results

After each treatment, you will see improvement after 6 to 8 weeks. Treated veins do not return. However, new veins can develop due to genetic predisposition, pregnancy, or an occupation requiring prolonged standing. A maintenance treatment is then possible.

Types of laser treatments

For laser therapy for spiderveins, various lasers are available, each with a specific mode of action. At The Body Clinic, we select the most suitable laser based on your skin condition and the type of spiderveins. This targeted approach combats inflammation and restores the skin for optimal results.

IPL works based on light beams delivered to the skin that act on inflammation in the skin. If many red inflammations are visible on the skin, this option can be chosen. IPL is particularly effective for active acne with significant redness and inflammation.
If there is coarse skin texture and red or brown acne scars, a fractional laser is chosen. The fractional laser heats the skin, stimulating collagen production. Only the deeper skin layers are treated with this laser, resulting in a short recovery time for the skin.
For optimal results, laser therapy can be combined with a chemical peel. The combination of the right laser, which works in the deeper skin layers, and a peel that subsequently acts as an anti-inflammatory for active acne, has proven very effective. With a combination treatment, you receive a 20% discount on the total amount.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find direct answers to questions about treatments, costs, and recovery.

A vascular laser treatment is not painful. You might experience the treatment as warm and tingling. This sensation is mainly noticeable during the treatment and quickly disappears afterwards.
The treatment takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
After the treatment, you can expect the following skin reactions. These are normal and indicate that the treatment is working:
- Warm sensation: immediately after the treatment and for up to several hours afterward. If necessary, cool your skin with a cold, damp washcloth or a cold pack from the refrigerator. Never place ice or frozen products directly on your skin.
- Redness and swelling: immediately after the treatment, your skin may be red. Red swelling may also occur for up to several days afterward. This is also known as the cat scratch effect.
- Darker veins: leg veins are often initially more visible and darker in color after the treatment. This is normal: your body is working to clear away the remnants of the veins. Sometimes a brown discoloration occurs, which can remain for weeks to sometimes months. Therefore, we advise treating leg veins preferably during the winter months.
You may go back into the sun once your skin has fully recovered. Be sure to protect your legs thoroughly with a sunscreen of at least SPF 30. Furthermore, avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 4 weeks prior to the treatment. Also, do not use self-tanner on the treated area for up to 2 weeks before the treatment.
You may swim or go to the sauna after 5 days. Until then, avoid as much extra heat on your skin as possible.
The number of treatments required depends on the type of laser therapy and your personal goals. For some indications, one treatment is sufficient, while for other skin problems, multiple sessions are needed for optimal results. On average, 3 to 6 treatments are recommended. During the consultation, the skin therapist will draw up a treatment plan specifically tailored for you.
Treated spider veins usually do not return. However, new spider veins can develop over time, for example, due to genetic predisposition, hormones, or prolonged standing. Retreatment is then possible. Do you want to maintain the results for as long as possible? Then stay active, avoid prolonged standing, and protect your legs from the sun.
You may exercise again after 5 days, unless the skin therapist advises otherwise. Until then, do not exercise too intensely. Avoid activities that make you sweat or raise your body temperature.
