Laser Spider Vein Treatment
Transform the appearance of your skin with our advanced laser spider vein treatment at Severn River Medspa. Our state-of-the-art laser technology effectively reduces the appearance of spider veins in the legs and other areas, helping you achieve clearer, more beautiful skin everywhere!
Understanding Spider Veins
Spider veins appear as small, twisted blood vessels visible just beneath the skin's surface. While they typically don't pose health risks, these red or purple web-like vessels can affect your confidence and comfort in showing your legs. They commonly appear on the legs and face due to genetics, pregnancy, prolonged standing or hormonal changes.
Common causes of spider veins include aging, obesity, hormonal changes during pregnancy or menopause and occupations requiring extended periods of standing. While some risk factors like genetics cannot be controlled, others can be managed through lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight and avoiding prolonged periods of sitting or standing.
Our Advanced Laser Treatment
At Severn River Medspa, we use cutting-edge laser technology to safely and effectively target unwanted spider veins. Our advanced system delivers precisely controlled energy to the affected vessels while protecting the surrounding tissue. The laser light is absorbed by the blood vessels, causing them to coagulate and gradually fade from view as your body naturally processes them.
The technology we use represents the latest advancement in vascular laser treatments. The system's specialized wavelength specifically targets hemoglobin in the blood vessels while leaving your skin untouched. This allows us to treat even the finest spider veins with minimal skin damage or discoloration.
Pre-Treatment Preparation
Preparation helps ensure optimal treatment results.
We recommend following these guidelines before your appointment:
• Avoid sun exposure and tanning for two weeks before treatment
• Discontinue blood-thinning medications and supplements
Stay well hydrated in the days leading up to treatment
• Avoid applying lotions, creams or other products to the treatment area on the day of your appointment
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing
• Inform your provider about any medications you're taking or medical conditions you have
The Treatment Experience
Your journey begins with a personalized, private consultation, during which we assess your concerns and develop a customized treatment plan. During this initial meeting, we'll examine your spider veins, discuss your medical history and explain the treatment process.
When you arrive for treatment, we'll clean the area and apply special protective eyewear. A cooling gel may be used to enhance comfort and laser effectiveness. The treatment itself involves passing the laser handpiece over the affected areas. You'll feel a mild sensation as the laser works to target the vessels, often described as a slight snapping or warming feeling.
Most treatments take 15-30 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Our experienced practitioners monitor your comfort throughout the session while ensuring optimal energy delivery for the best possible results. The number of pulses delivered will depend on the size and number of treated vessels.
Post-Treatment Care
You may experience temporary redness, swelling or a sensation similar to a mild sunburn in the treated area. These effects typically resolve within a few days. Walking and light activity are encouraged to promote healthy circulation. An aftercare protocol is essential for best results and quick recovery.
• Avoid strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours
• Stay well hydrated to support your body's natural healing process
• Apply cool compresses if needed for comfort
• Avoid hot baths, saunas or hot tubs for several days
• Keep the treated area protected from sun exposure
• Wear compression stockings
What to Expect
Most patients require several treatments spaced a couple of weeks apart for optimal results. You may notice improvement within a few weeks after each session, with continued enhancement as your body processes the treated vessels. While the treatment eliminates existing spider veins, new ones may develop over time, making maintenance treatments beneficial for long-term results.
Results develop gradually as your body naturally absorbs treated vessels. Optimal results are typically visible after 2-3 months, although you will see minor improvements more quickly.
Ideal Candidates
Laser spider vein treatment works well for most skin types, though effectiveness can vary based on factors such as vein size and depth. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your concerns and determine which treatment is right for you.
The best candidates are those with:
- Small to medium-sized spider veins
- Good overall health
- Realistic expectations about treatment outcomes
- No history of blood clotting disorders
- No active skin infections in the area
Treatment Packages and Combinations
We often recommend combining spider vein treatment with other services for comprehensive rejuvenation. We will discuss this during your comprehensive consultation.

- Body contouring to enhance overall leg appearance
- Skin tightening treatments for improved skin texture
- Chemical peels to address pigmentation concerns
- Regular maintenance treatments to prevent new spider vein formation
