Our laser capillary reduction treatment uses the advanced Cutera Xeo Nd-YAG laser to target and treat visible veins, including spider veins, broken capillaries, and deeper blue veins. This non-invasive procedure is quick, safe, and effective, providing noticeable results with minimal discomfort. Whether you’re dealing with tiny facial veins or larger leg spider veins, our treatment is designed to restore smoother, clearer skin with no downtime. We personalise each session to your needs, ensuring the best possible outcome for your unique vascular concerns.
Laser treatment for spider veins and what else?
The laser emits pulses of light energy that heat the blood inside the targeted vein, causing it to coagulate. This process eventually destroys the vein, which is then naturally reabsorbed by your body over time. Our laser capillary reduction treatment is effective for a variety of vascular concerns, including tiny facial veins, spider veins, broken capillaries, and deeper blue reticular veins found on the legs. This non-invasive approach offers a safe and efficient way to treat visible veins, restoring a clearer, more even complexion.

COMMON QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Who is the treatment for?
The Cutera Xeo features a unique design and long wavelength that allows us to treat clients with most skin tones. Treatment is ideal for individuals wanting to reduce spider veins, broken capillaries, cherry angiomas, hemangiomas, and other vascular concerns on the face and body.
Does this treatment hurt?
Most clients experience a stinging sensation as the pulses of energy are delivered through the handpiece. The handpiece has a built-in cooling system which is used pre and post-delivery of the energy to reduce any discomfort.
Is there downtime?
Some redness or bruising may occur post-treatment, depending on the treatment indication. When larger veins are treated, a tan or brownish pigment/discolouration may persist for a few weeks or months following treatment. Other side effects can include local swelling or welting of the skin that has been treated, this typically resolves within 24 hours. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and sun exposure 24 hours post-treatment.
When will I see a result?
Some clients may see an immediate result or see a significant improvement within 2-6 weeks after treatment. Final results may take 8-12 weeks. We recommend waiting 12 weeks between follow-up treatments. Some individuals may require several treatments for desired results.
What is laser treatment for spider veins?
Laser treatment for spider veins uses targeted light energy to heat and collapse the small, visible veins, allowing the body to naturally reabsorb them. The Cutera Xeo system is highly effective for this non-invasive procedure.
How does laser treatment work for spider veins?
The laser precisely targets the pigment in the spider veins without affecting the surrounding skin. This causes the veins to break down, gradually fading over several weeks as your body processes the treated veins.
How many treatments are needed to remove spider veins?
The number of treatments varies depending on the size and number of spider veins, but typically, 2-4 sessions are recommended. Your practitioner will tailor a plan based on your specific needs.
Can laser treatment remove spider veins completely?
Laser treatment can significantly reduce or eliminate spider veins, though some patients may require multiple sessions to achieve optimal results. Maintenance treatments may be needed if new veins appear.
