Treatment Options

Laser Treatments

This is a noninvasive treatment option for spider veins. Closing off the vein by administering bursts of high-intensity light.

Our medical staff use a laser to create heat and destroy the spider vein. If the spider vein is small, you may see it disappear right away. Usually, more than one laser session is needed. Scheduled every few weeks, based on individual patients treatment plan.

They don’t need to make any cuts or use any needles in this procedure.
