Targets spider veins on the legs, face, and body
Laser vein therapy and sclerotherapy
Most appointments take 30-60 minutes or less
Little to no downtime with minimal side effects
Suitable for a range of skin tones and vein sizes
Spider veins are small, visible veins that lie close to the surface of the skin. They often appear red, purple, or blue and may resemble fine lines, webs, or branches. Most commonly found on the legs and face, these veins form when blood collects in tiny vessels due to weakened valves or increased pressure in the vein walls. Common contributing factors include genetics, aging, hormonal shifts, sun exposure, and prolonged standing.
Although spider veins are usually harmless, many people choose to treat them for cosmetic reasons. At AlluraMD, we offer two clinically proven methods to safely reduce or eliminate their appearance.
Each method has its strengths, with the best option depending on your individual needs. Our team will guide you toward the right choice based on your vein size, location, skin tone, and overall health.
Laser vein therapy uses focused light energy to gently heat and collapse unwanted veins. Over time, the treated veins fade from view as the body reabsorbs them naturally. This option is often used for finer facial veins or areas where precision is important.
Sclerotherapy involves injecting a medical-grade solution directly into the spider vein. The solution causes the vein walls to collapse and seal shut. The body then absorbs the closed vein, leaving the skin clearer. Sclerotherapy is especially effective for small to medium-sized leg veins.
Before treatment, your provider will carefully evaluate the veins you're concerned about to determine the right approach. If you're a candidate for laser treatment, a handheld device will be used to target the vein with brief pulses of light. For sclerotherapy, a fine needle is used to inject a sclerosing solution directly into the vein.
Most sessions take 30-60 minutes or less and require no anesthesia. You may feel a mild burning, tingling, or stinging sensation during treatment, but most patients tolerate it very well.
After the procedure, you’ll be given aftercare instructions tailored to your treatment type. By taking some simple precautions to protect the treatment area, you’ll be able to return to your normal routine quickly, usually on the same day.
Spider veins can appear almost anywhere, but they’re most common on the thighs, calves, ankles, and face.
While not designed for larger varicose veins, these treatments are an ideal solution for smaller veins that are more cosmetic in nature.
Our vein treatments are designed to address:
Minimizing or eliminating the appearance of unwanted spider veins on the face or body helps many patients feel more comfortable wearing shorts, dresses, or swimwear again. Treating visible veins can help restore a sense of ease in how you feel in your skin.
These treatments are minimally invasive and require no general anesthesia or significant recovery time. Results build gradually as your body naturally reabsorbs the treated veins. Many people experience clearer, more even skin within just a few weeks.
At AlluraMD, you can rest assured that our medically trained team is using clinically proven methods for a safe, comfortable, and effective treatment experience.
Most healthy adults with visible spider veins are good candidates for vein treatment. Your AlluraMD provider will consider your vein size, skin tone, and medical history to determine whether laser or sclerotherapy is more appropriate.
If you’re pregnant or have a history of blood clotting disorders, vein treatments may be postponed or require clearance from your primary physician. During your consultation, we’ll take the time to ensure your treatment plan is safe, effective, and aligned with your goals.
Recovery is generally very easy. With laser therapy, you might experience temporary redness or warmth at the treatment site. Sclerotherapy patients may see mild bruising, tenderness, or darkening of the treated veins before they begin to fade.
After sclerotherapy, compression stockings may be recommended to support healing and circulation. Sun protection is also important to avoid pigmentation changes in the treated areas.
Most people resume their normal activities right away and notice steady improvement over the following weeks.
After treatment, spider veins gradually fade over the next 2 to 6 weeks, sometimes longer depending on the size and location of the vein. Some veins may require more than one session for full clearance.
Once the treated veins are absorbed by the body, they do not return. However, new veins can form over time, so occasional maintenance may be recommended. Most patients find the improvement dramatic, especially after a full course of treatment.
At AlluraMD, vein treatments are handled with the same thoughtful, medically guided approach that defines the rest of your experience here. Whether you’re a candidate for laser therapy or sclerotherapy, every step is performed in a clean, upscale, and welcoming environment by experienced professionals.
We focus on personalized care—no rushed appointments or cookie-cutter protocols. Just clear, honest guidance and results that help you feel confident in your own skin again.
Treated veins are closed off and absorbed by the body, so they won’t return. However, new spider veins can develop in the future, especially if underlying causes (like genetics or prolonged standing) remain.
This depends on the vein’s size, location, and your skin type. Laser is often better for small facial veins, while sclerotherapy is ideal for leg veins. Your provider will help you choose the best option.
Most people find both sclerotherapy and laser vein treatments very tolerable. You might feel a slight stinging, warming, or tingling sensation, but any discomfort is brief and minimal.
Most patients begin to see improvement within 2 to 6 weeks. Some patients may need more than one session depending on the severity and number of veins being treated..
Yes, most people return to work or normal activities the same day. If compression garments are recommended, you’ll receive clear instructions on how long to wear them.
Temporary redness, bruising, or slight swelling can occur. These effects are mild and typically fade within a few days.
It’s important to avoid direct sun exposure for a few weeks post-treatment to prevent hyperpigmentation in the treated areas.
Yes. Vein treatments are safe and effective for all genders, especially for visible facial veins or leg veins caused by genetics or lifestyle factors.
Some veins disappear after one session, while others may require 2–3 treatments for full results. This will be discussed during your consultation.
