Laser Treatment for Spider Veins (Telangiectasia) in Seoul, Korea

Spider veins

Spider veins (telangiesctasia) refer to a cluster of tiny veins that appear on the body, resembling thin threads, tree branches, or spider webs. These are actually abnormal vessels caused by valves that, for a possible number of reasons, failed to deliver blood back into the heart. As a result, the blood can back-flow, causing engorged, weaker, diluted vessels that are visible through the skin. Spider veins are treated mostly for cosmetic purposes, since while harmless, they mostly appear on visible areas such as the face and legs. They are not to be confused with varicose veins, which occur in larger vessels, are bulging and tangible, and may cause quite a bit of pain and discomfort. Both are more commonly found in patients with occupations that require long standing hours, patients with a family history, pregnant women, and more.

If the physical conditions occurring from varicose veins become serious and interfere with your everyday activities, we recommend that you find a vascular surgeon for treatment. For spider veins, on the other hand, treatment can be a lot easier than you might have anticipated. Nowadays especially, spider veins can vanish with just a couple of laser treatment sessions, that, unlike traditional treatment methods such as sclerotherapy, does not require any injections, compression bands, or downtime.

One such laser is called Excel V, by the US brand Cutera.

This laser has been approved by the FDA for treating vascular conditions such as rosacea and spider veins, as well as removing other pigmented lesions and improving skin elasticity. It is considered to be one of the most advanced lasers in the world, and you can experience its fantastic effects right here at Renewme Skin Clinic. Laser treatments are not painful and do not require any numbing cream; procedure time is well under one hour.

You might also want to know: how does this laser treat spider veins? The green laser light specifically heats up and destroys the walls of the weaker blood vessels, causing them to seal shut, while normal healthy blood vessels simply absorb the light and are left untouched. As a result, you can see spider veins vanishing right in front of your eyes with just one session. That doesn't mean that one session is all you need; for complete removal we might recommend about 2 or 3, spaced several weeks apart, depending on your condition. And there might always be a few patients for which this treatment does not completely work. Therefore, it's best for you to consult the your physician first, and test the laser out on a small area before opting for a full-on session.
