Spider Vein Treatment in Louisville, KY
Clear visible veins and small red spots for smoother, more even skin.
Spider veins are small, visible blood vessels that show up as red, purple, or blue lines, often branching out in a web. They're most common on the legs and around the nose and cheeks, and they tend to multiply with age, sun exposure, pregnancy, and genetics.
They're harmless, but they're also hard to cover. Our targeted laser treatment fades spider veins and small vascular spots with precise pulses of light and no needles.
What are targeted laser treatments?
Targeted laser treatments use a precise beam of laser energy aimed at an individual vessel or spot. The blood inside the vessel absorbs that energy, which heats and collapses the vessel wall. Over the following weeks, your body naturally reabsorbs the treated vessel and it fades from view.
We use the Chrome Lase Station by Cartessa, whose settings can be adjusted to the size and depth of each vessel and to your skin type.
What targeted laser treats
Spider veins on the legs
Facial spider veins and broken capillaries, especially around the nose, cheeks, and chin
Small red spots and vascular lesions
Small, isolated dark spots
If your concern is general redness or flushing across your whole face rather than individual vessels, an [IPL photofacial] treats the full area at once.
Larger bulging veins are different. Varicose veins that are raised, rope-like, or painful can be a sign of an underlying circulation issue. We'll refer you to a vein specialist for an evaluation rather than treating them cosmetically.
Who is a good candidate?
Targeted laser treatment is ideal for adults with small spider veins or isolated red spots on the face or legs who want a treatment without needles. It works for most skin types, and your provider will assess each vessel at your consultation.
Treatment may not be recommended during pregnancy, over tanned skin, or while taking certain photosensitizing medications.
What to expect
Before treatment: Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and spray tans on the treatment area beforehand.
During treatment: Sessions take about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the area. You'll feel a brief pinch or warm snap with each pulse.
After treatment: Treated vessels may look darker or slightly raised at first before they fade. Mild redness, swelling, or light bruising can occur and usually settles within a few days. You can return to most normal activities right away.
How many sessions: Most clients need one to three treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart. Results improve gradually over several weeks after each session.
