This procedure is performed at American Surgical Arts in Mullica Hill and Vineland, New Jersey, by board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Sean Bidic and Dr. Vinay Gundlapalli. They approach visible spider veins the same way they approach everything: with skills and a clear plan.
What Causes Spider Veins
Spider veins often develop when tiny valves inside your veins weaken or stop working correctly. This causes blood to collect and branch out in fine, visible lines under the skin.
You’ll typically see them on the legs, especially around the thighs, calves, or ankles, but they’re also common on the cheeks and nose. Age, genetics, hormones, sun exposure, and long periods of standing or sitting can all play a role.
How Laser Vein Treatment Targets Them
Laser vein treatment sends bursts of light through the skin to heat and close off the damaged veins. The laser’s energy targets the pigment in the vein to break it down without harming the surrounding skin. Over time, your body naturally absorbs the treated vein, and it fades away.
This approach is so popular because it doesn’t involve any injections or cutting. The treatment is quick, with only a mild stinging sensation. You won’t need anesthesia, and there’s no downtime, so you can get back to your normal routine right away.
What to Expect From Results and Recovery
You won’t see the veins disappear immediately, but results start to show within a few weeks. Most people notice fading between two and six weeks after treatment, with continued improvement for up to eight weeks. You might feel some sensitivity or see light redness afterward, similar to a mild sunburn, but this usually passes quickly.
With the right care, including sunscreen and avoiding pressure on the treated area, results can be long-lasting.
