Laser vein therapy is often used on the face to target delicate spider veins around the nose, cheeks, and chin. The precision of laser energy makes it ideal for treating small, visible veins in sensitive facial areas.
Sclerotherapy is most commonly used on the legs, especially the thighs, calves, and ankles, where spider veins and small varicose veins frequently appear. Laser therapy can also be used on the legs for finer surface veins or in areas where injections may be less practical.
Both sclerotherapy and laser treatments can be used around the ankles and feet, though extra care is taken due to increased pressure and sensitivity in these areas. These veins often respond well to treatment but may require more than one session.
Some patients experience small, broken capillaries in the chest area due to sun damage or aging. Laser vein therapy can be an effective solution for reducing their appearance and restoring clearer skin.
Vein treatment with laser therapy or sclerotherapy typically ranges from $250 to $600 per session, depending on the treatment area, number of veins treated, and the number of sessions required to achieve your desired results. Some patients may only need one visit, while others benefit from a short series of treatments. During your consultation, your provider will evaluate your concerns and create a personalized plan with transparent pricing tailored to your needs.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Absolutely. 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.
