Spider veins (or telangiectasia) are small, visible veins that appear close to the surface of the skin, usually in red, purple, or blue hues. Common areas for spider veins include:
Legs
Face
Ankles
While these veins are typically not a health concern, they can affect your appearance and make you feel self-conscious. Factors such as genetics, aging, pregnancy, prolonged standing, or sitting may contribute to their development.
Whether you have small veins or large clusters, our team, led by Dr. Mauricio Giraldo, M.D., F.A.A.C.S., is here to offer personalized treatment options that deliver safe, effective, and lasting results.
One of the most effective ways to treat spider veins is with laser vein therapy, a non-invasive procedure that offers minimal downtime and excellent results. Here’s how it works:
Laser Therapy: A focused laser light is applied to the affected area. The heat from the laser causes the vein to collapse and eventually fade.
Vein Absorption: Over time, the body naturally absorbs the treated veins, leaving your skin looking clearer and smoother.
Benefits of Laser Therapy:
No incisions or injections
Precision treatment with minimal discomfort
Quick recovery with little to no downtime

Laser treatment for spider veins is quick and generally takes between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and number of veins being treated. Here’s what you can expect:
Consultation: Dr. Giraldo will assess your spider veins, during your complimentary vein consultation, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine the best course of action for your treatment.
Treatment: During the procedure, the laser is applied to the affected area. The treatment is relatively comfortable, but a topical numbing cream can be used if needed.
Aftercare: After treatment, you may experience mild redness or swelling, which should resolve within a few days. There’s no need for bandages, and you can return to most of your regular activities right away (though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for a few days).
Results: Multiple sessions may be recommended depending on the extent of the spider veins, but results can typically be seen within 2-6 weeks as the veins fade and are absorbed by the body.
