Say Goodbye to Spider Veins
At CGO Med Aesthetics, we offer Aerolase laser treatment for spider veins, a non-invasive and highly effective way to reduce visible veins on the legs and the tiny facial vessels known as telangiectasias. Using advanced 650-microsecond laser technology, Aerolase targets and diminishes the blood vessels responsible for spider veins, promoting smoother, clearer skin for patients throughout San Diego, CA.
What Are Spider Veins?
Spider veins are small, dilated blood vessels that appear just beneath the skin’s surface in red, blue, or purple web-like patterns. They most commonly develop on the legs and face and can be influenced by genetics, sun exposure, hormonal changes, prolonged standing, and aging. While usually harmless, spider veins can make skin look uneven and cause many people to feel self-conscious.
How Aerolase Treats Spider Veins
The Aerolase laser delivers energy in an ultra-short 650-microsecond pulse that is absorbed by hemoglobin in the unwanted vessels. The vessel is gently heated and collapses, and the body naturally clears it over the following weeks. Because the pulse is so brief, surrounding skin stays comfortable, and treatment is safe for all skin types with no downtime.
Conditions Treated
Aerolase spider vein treatment can help with:
- Spider Veins on the Legs: Reduces the appearance of spider veins commonly found on the thighs, knees, and calves.
- Facial Vessels: Targets tiny blood vessels on the cheeks, nose, and chin to reduce redness and discoloration.
- Broken Capillaries: Diminishes broken capillaries for smoother, more even-looking skin.
- Visible Veins from Aging: Reduces visible veins that appear with age for a more youthful appearance.
If facial redness is related to flushing or inflammation, our rosacea treatment may be recommended alongside vein therapy.
