Service Description

WHAT EXACTLY ARE SPIDER VEINS, AND HOW DO THEY DIFFER FROM VARICOSE VEINS? Spider veins are typically small, superficial blood vessels that appear as branched patterns or fine lines on the skin. They often occur on the legs and range in color from reddish to bluish. In contrast, varicose veins are much larger, more prominent, and can sometimes even be painful. Spider veins are usually harmless and primarily a cosmetic concern. Do you have spider veins? Fortunately, today there are effective treatment options. At Aesthetic Space Clinic we use the method that is both highly effective and gentle on the skin - the Candela GentleMax Pro laser, which is becoming increasingly popular alongside the traditional sclerotherapy. Removing Spider Veins with a Modern Laser Spider veins are delicate, dilated blood vessels that shimmer through the skin. Medically, they are usually harmless—even though they can be quite visually bothersome. With modern lasers, we can additionally treat pigmentation disorders, acne scars, and sagging skin, significantly improving the overall appearance of the skin—without damaging the surrounding tissue! Treatment at our clinic in Lausanne is quick, nearly painless, and typically involves no downtime. How the Treatment Works We treat the fine veins with precisely targeted laser pulses. The laser energy is absorbed by the hemoglobin (red blood pigment) and converted into heat. This heat destroys the vessels, which are then naturally broken down by the body’s metabolism. It’s simple yet highly effective. Your Consultation at Aesthetic Space Clinic Our specialist will create a treatment plan tailored to your needs and skin type. To help you make an informed decision about the treatment method, book your appointment with us in Lausanne today. The number of treatments varies from patient to patient and depends on: • The number of spider veins • Their size and branching • Your skin’s response to the treatments Typically, two to three sessions are needed, spaced about 8 weeks apart. Side effects can occur with any medical or cosmetic treatment, and this includes the removal of spider veins. Possible side effects include: • Redness and swelling in the treated area • Minor bruising and crusting • Temporary pigmentation changes • Rare cases of overheating or blistering. At Aesthetic Space Clinic in Lausanne, we use state-of-the-art lasers with integrated cooling systems to minimize these risks.
