Spider Vein removal

During laser/light therapy, a laser is applied to the spider veins. The laser transmits photons that are absorbed by the blood cells in the veins, which generates heat that destroys the blood vessel. The damaged vein shrinks and eventually dissolves over time. Laser/light therapy is considered the treatment of choice for facial spider veins. It can be used on other parts of the body as well. Only rarely is laser/light therapy used on leg veins.
