Notice small red, blue, or purple veins on your legs, face, or other areas? These are commonly known as spider veins. While usually harmless, they can make you feel self-conscious, especially in summer or when wearing shorts or sleeveless outfits. Spider veins can also cause mild discomfort, including itching, burning, or a heavy, achy feeling in the legs. At Lotus Laser Aesthetics, we specialize in laser spider vein removal, a safe, precise, and highly effective treatment that targets unwanted veins without damaging surrounding skin. The result? Smoother, clearer, and more confident-looking skin. Many clients love the quick, visible improvements and minimal downtime.
What Are Spider Veins?
Spider veins, medically known as telangiectasias, are tiny, dilated blood vessels visible just under the skin. They often appear as thin red, blue, or purple lines that branch like a spider’s web. Common areas include:
- Face, particularly around the nose and cheeks
While usually not a medical concern, spider veins can sometimes cause:
- A feeling of heaviness in the legs
- Frustration or self-consciousness about appearance
Understanding what spider veins are is the first step to choosing the right treatment for you.
Why Spider Veins Develop
Several factors contribute to the formation of spider veins, including:
- Genetics: Family history plays a significant role. If your parents have spider veins, you’re more likely to develop them.
- Hormonal changes: Pregnancy, menopause, or hormonal therapy can weaken vein walls and increase vein visibility.
- Aging: Skin thins and veins lose elasticity, making them more prominent.
- Prolonged standing or sitting: Long periods on your feet or at a desk increase vein pressure.
- Sun exposure: Especially on the face, sunlight can damage tiny capillaries.
- Lifestyle factors: Weight gain, limited movement, and certain medications can worsen vein health.
Spider veins can appear anywhere on the body, and multiple factors often contribute to their development.
How Laser Spider Vein Removal Works
Laser treatment targets spider veins precisely without the need for needles or surgery. Here’s the process in simple terms:
- A handheld laser delivers concentrated light directly to the affected veins.
- The energy from the laser cauterizes the vein, causing it to collapse.
- Over time, your body naturally absorbs the treated vein, leaving smoother, clearer skin.
It’s important to note that this treatment is not painless. Most clients describe a warming or snapping sensation as the laser works. The heat can feel intense at times, which is why sessions are often limited to about 15 minutes per area. This allows multiple veins to be treated efficiently while keeping discomfort manageable.
What to Expect During a Session
Here’s what a typical laser spider vein session looks like at Lotus Laser Aesthetics:
Consultation & Assessment:
- We evaluate your veins and discuss your goals.
- The size, location, and depth of veins determine the treatment approach.
Preparation:
- Skin is cleaned, and protective eyewear is provided.
- Areas may be marked for precise targeting.
Laser Application:
- The laser is applied over spider veins in short bursts.
- Some smaller veins disappear immediately; others gradually fade over weeks.
- Sessions typically last 15 minutes, but larger areas may require multiple passes over separate appointments.
Post-Treatment Care:
- Mild redness, swelling, or bruising may appear but usually resolves within hours or a few days.
- Treated veins are gradually absorbed by the body, and results become more noticeable over within weeks.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
Even after the first treatment, many clients notice significant improvement. The results are progressive, as your body naturally absorbs the treated blood vessels over time, leaving your skin smoother and more even-toned.
Most clients see full results in 1–3 sessions per area, though it can vary depending on vein size, depth, and location. Thinner veins often respond quickly and may vanish in a single session, while larger or deeper veins sometimes require 3 or more treatments.
There’s no magic number of treatments, every person’s veins and skin respond differently, so your provider will tailor the plan to your needs.
Key Benefits of Laser Spider Vein Removal
Laser therapy offers multiple advantages over traditional treatments like sclerotherapy or surgery:
- Non-invasive: No needles, incisions, or recovery downtime.
- Efficient: Most sessions are short, typically 15 minutes per area.
- Targeted: The laser focuses precisely on veins without affecting surrounding skin.
- Long-lasting: With proper care, results can be permanent.
- Convenient: Resume daily activities immediately after treatment.
Real Talk: What It Feels Like
- Not painless: You may feel heat or snapping sensations during treatment.
- Session length: Usually around 15 minutes for focused areas, which is enough to treat multiple veins.
- Immediate effects: Some veins disappear instantly; others lighten gradually over weeks.
Many clients are surprised at how effective the treatment is, even with short sessions. The key is consistency and patience; smaller veins respond quickly, while larger or deeper ones take time for your body to absorb.

Spider Veins and Vascular Health
Spider veins are a type of vascular lesion, caused by weakened vein valves and poor circulation. Other factors contributing to vascular lesions include:
