Facial & Leg Spider Vein Treatment
At Premier Hair & Body Care we offer effective treatment on sight. Small, superficial red veins can be successfully treated with the Nd:YAG laser. Some veins will disappear immediately and others will require several treatments over monthly intervals.
Presence of superficial veins on the face and legs (telangiectasias) is a cosmetic problem that troubles millions of people. Spider veins are red, bluish or purple veins that can result from sun exposure, use of oral contraception, hormone therapy, the aging process, or heredity.
While they are not painful, they can be embarrassing. Candela’s new GentleYAG® laser can quickly and effectively remove these veins with minimal discomfort.
Results can be seen immediately or within three to four weeks. The amount of treatment will depend on the area and number on veins.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a laser help?
With a beam of light, the laser can deliver a prescribed dose of energy to the spider veins. The laser "selectively" coagulates the problem veins while sparing surrounding areas. After treatment, the vessel slowly and naturally disappears.
What does this treatment involve?
This non-invasive treatment process can be done on sight. The time involved will vary on the individual and on the number of veins. After treatment, there is no down time - which means you can resume all of your normal activities immediately afterward.
Is the treatment painful?
Most individuals describe the treatment as a series of slight pin pricks or rubber band snaps to the skin. Patients tolerate this sensation without anesthetics. Comfort and safety is provided by applying cooling to the area to be treated.
