Spider Vein Removal

Suffering from tiny superficial face veins? Our advanced Cutera^® Excel systems combine ideal laser wavelength with flexible parameters to safely and effectively remove spider veins on all skin tones. This is a quick procedure that delivers immediate results with minimal discomfort and no downtime!

How does the treatment work?

The Cutera^® Excel systems deliver pulses of light energy which cause the blood within the vein to coagulate, eventually destroying the vessel which is later reabsorbed by your body. Blood flow will then be redirected to veins deeper below your skin's surface, where it should be.

How many treatments will I need?

Often, clients find that one or two treatments are sufficient. However, the number of treatments necessary depends on the number, color, and size of the vessels being treated. Since individual results vary, we recommend a free in-office consultation to discuss about your specific condition.

Do the treatments hurt?

Most clients experience a stinging sensation as the pulses of energy are delivered through the handpiece. Although no local anesthesia or pain medication is typically required, clients may opt to use a topical anesthetic prior to treatment. Following the treatment, the pain is minimal to nonexistent.

What are the possible side effects?

Although many clients report few if any side effects, those most commonly noticed are slight reddening and local swelling of the skin. These effects typically last for less than 24 hours. Some clients may experience bruising and, in rare instances, blistering may occur.

When will I see results?

For superficial face veins, clients often see significant improvement immediately following the treatment. However, over time, it is possible for new veins to appear, but these too can be removed with the Cutera^® Excel.
