Unsightly small 'spider' veins remain under the surface of the skin, following trauma and particularly in the case of face acne, following squeezing of spots. The small blood vessels become broken and then remain dormant and non functional i.e. don't contain any blood. A good treatment for this condition is laser therapy.
Although laser eradication of small 'spidery' veins may not remove all veins in the skin, most patients are happy with the results. Following treatment, the unsightly purple veins are significantly reduced and the skin goes back to a more natural, clear state. It should be remembered, however, that laser therapy does not stop the symptoms of aging and that treatment does not stop the occurrence of new 'spidery' veins.
The Treatment
The doctor will start by, cleaning the skin surface, to remove oils and dirt. Next, brief intense, bursts of light from the laser will be employed to remove the superficial veins at precisely controlled levels of penetration. As the laser works, you may hear a popping noise, and smell smoke. The intense burst of light brings about a burning of the tissues and thus the smell of smoke, but this is normal. Then, the treated skin will be smothered with an antibiotic cream to stop any surface infection. The amount of laser time varies from twelve minutes up to one hour, depending on the dimension of the skin area being treated. Mostly, more than one session may be needed to get the desired results. Laser treatment is usually performed in a doctor's clinic, or in a hospital outpatient's clinic. You don't need to stay in the hospital, as it is not necessary. You may have a slight burning, hot or stinging feeling as the laser penetrates your facial skin, but this is normal. Any, pain is very low and no local anaesthetic is required.
You may feel some slight redness and inflammation of the treated skin, this should go within a few days or so. Mostly, the veins will turn a purple colour that look like a small bruise, and then gradually fades within 6-11 days. Sometimes ice packs are recommended to reduce the inflammation. Aloe vera herb gel is also commonly used, to reduce the inflammation. Recovery times depend on the level of treatment and the patient's own level of healing. Some purple colouring may last for a few weeks, but this will gradually lighten to a pink tone, and a lighter, more natural colour. So laser therapy has been shown to be a very effective treatment for superficial facial spidery veins.
