About Spider Vein Treatment
Spider veins are small, branching blood vessels visible through the skin, commonly appearing on the legs and face. They may be purple, red, or blue. At Kat Motlagh's Health Clinics, we develop customized treatment plans to effectively reduce their appearance.
Treatment Snapshot
- Visit type
- Spider Vein Treatment: laser consultation with skin type, history, and treatment area review
- Sessions
- Usually series-based; number varies by concern and response
- Common planning topics
- Sun exposure, skin tone, downtime, maintenance, and aftercare
Causes
- Genetic Factors: A family history of spider veins increases likelihood of developing them
- Aging: As we age, veins can lose elasticity, making spider veins more likely
- Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations, particularly in women, can contribute to development
- Prolonged Standing or Sitting: Occupations requiring long periods of standing or sitting increase risk
- Obesity: Excess weight adds pressure to veins, increasing risk
- Sun Exposure: Excessive sun exposure can damage skin and lead to spider veins, especially on the face
Signs & Symptoms
- Visible Veins: Small, web-like veins visible under the skin
- Discomfort: Some may experience aching, burning, or throbbing sensations, though many have no symptoms other than visible veins
How It Works
- 1Laser Vein Removal with xeo®: Non-invasive treatment using targeted laser energy to cause veins to collapse and fade
- 2Sclerotherapy: A solution is injected directly into spider veins, causing them to collapse and fade over a few weeks
- 3Compression Stockings: Can help improve circulation and prevent worsening
Procedure Details
- Preparation: The treatment area is prepared, and a topical anesthetic may be applied
- Laser Application: A laser handpiece delivers energy to spider veins, targeting blood vessels without damaging surrounding skin
- Vessel Collapse: The laser energy causes vein walls to collapse, eliminating visible veins
- Post-treatment: Bruising, redness, and swelling may occur but should subside within 7-10 days
Conditions We Treat
- Spider veins on legs
- Spider veins on face and nose
- Broken capillaries and facial veins

Candidacy and Safety Review
A consultation reviews medical history, medications, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding status, prior procedures, skin type, healing history, and the timing of events or travel before a treatment plan is recommended.
Laser Pre-Care and Post-Care
- Avoid tanning and tell the clinic about recent sun exposure before laser sessions.
- Use daily SPF and follow product restrictions while treated skin is healing.
- Do not wax, pluck, or thread before hair-removal sessions because the follicle needs to remain available for targeting.
