Laser treatment for spider veins is a modern, minimally invasive method for removing small, superficial veins (spider veins), which usually occur on the legs. Here is an overview of the most important information:
🔍 What are spider veins?
Small, dilated superficial blood vessels (capillaries) directly under the skin.
Usually reddish or bluish in color, net-like or fan-shaped.
Common on the legs, especially thighs or calves.
Often a cosmetic problem, rarely medically necessary.
💡How does laser treatment work?
The laser produces a focused beam of light that is directed specifically at the affected vessels.
The light energy is absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood → heat is generated → vessel walls are destroyed (coagulated).
The body then naturally breaks down the dead vessel.
