unwanted veins.
WHAT ARE UNWANTED VEINS?
Visible veins, sometimes referred to as spider veins or telangiectasias, are small, dilated blood vessels that appear close to the skin’s surface. They can show up as fine red, blue, or purple lines on the face, legs, or other areas of the body. While usually harmless, they can create uneven colour or texture and may become more noticeable with age, sun exposure, hormonal changes, or genetics.
These veins develop when the vessel walls weaken or become damaged, allowing them to expand and remain visible beneath the skin. Fortunately, modern laser technology allows for safe, precise treatment of unwanted veins — targeting only the vessel while leaving the surrounding skin untouched.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What causes visible veins to appear?
Unwanted veins are often caused by genetics, sun damage, hormonal changes, pregnancy, or lifestyle factors such as prolonged standing or heat exposure. Over time, weakened or dilated blood vessels become more visible on the surface of the skin.
2. What areas can be treated?
Most small surface veins can be treated effectively on the face, chest, and legs. Facial veins, especially around the nose and cheeks, respond particularly well to laser therapy. Body treatments may require slightly higher energy levels or multiple sessions for optimal results.
3. Does laser vein treatment hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as a brief snap or warmth on the skin. Cooling and post-treatment care are used to minimize any discomfort or redness. Treatments are quick, with little to no downtime.
4. How many treatments will I need?
The number of sessions depends on the size, colour, and location of the veins. Many clients see visible improvement after 1–3 treatments, spaced several weeks apart. Once treated, the same vein will not return — although new ones can form over time
