Spider veins (also called telangiectasia) are tiny, dilated blood vessels that become visible beneath the skin’s surface. Common causes include:

• Genetics

• Sun exposure

• Hormonal changes (e.g., pregnancy, birth control)

• Standing or sitting for long periods

• Aging

They often appear on the legs, cheeks, nose, or chin, and can become more prominent over time.on text goes here

• Targeted Heat: The laser emits a wavelength of light that’s absorbed by the blood vessel without affecting surrounding skin.

• Vessel Closure: The heat causes the vein walls to collapse and seal shut.

• Natural Fading: Over time, the treated vein is reabsorbed by the body and fades from view.

Treatment is quick, and most patients describe the sensation as a light snap or pinch. GentleMax Pro’s built-in cooling system helps keep the skin comfortable throughout.

• Gradual Fading: Treated veins will gradually shrink and fade over 2–6 weeks as your body absorbs them. Some may disappear sooner; others may need follow-up sessions.

• Multiple Sessions May Be Needed: Depending on the size, depth, and number of veins, 2–3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart may be recommended for best results.

• Healthy Vein Circulation Remains Intact: Only unwanted, superficial veins are treated. Your body naturally reroutes blood through healthier nearby veins.

8 weeks before treatment and throughout the course of treatment patients are advised to:

• No tanning and sunless tanners

• The area to be treated should be shaved one day prior to treatment as closely as possible

• On the day of treatment no lotion, makeup and perfume should be used on the treatment area

• If you are taking Accutane, or have taken it in the last 6 months please notify office ahead of time

• If you are taking any antibiotics or blood thinners, please notify office ahead of time

• 5 days prior to treatment avoid Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Fish oil, Alcohol or any other medication or herbal supplement that may cause thinning of the blood

• Avoid treatment while pregnant

• Tylenol is recommended for any pain, as needed

• AVOID THE SUN-completely after treatment for 4 weeks to reduce hyper pigmentation. Use a broad spectrum SPF 45 zinc oxide or titanium dioxide with UV A/B sunblock

• Avoid strenuous exercise for 48 hours after treatment

• Wait at least 8 weeks before the next treatment as resolution of the vessels continues throughout this entire period

• Your leg veins may appear bruised or darker red following treatment. This discoloration will fade over the next few weeks. Brown discoloration may take several months to fade
