Spider & varicose veins
Laser & spider vein removal
Treatment for unwanted spider & varicose veins: minimally invasive care with minimal recovery time, planned after an ultrasound.
The root cause of vein problems
Spider and varicose veins are often caused by venous insufficiency. This is a condition where veins just beneath the skin fail to circulate blood properly. Instead of flowing back to the heart, blood pools in the legs, increases pressure and leads to visibly damaged veins. Treating only the surface veins without addressing the root cause can lead to poor results. That’s why a thorough evaluation for venous insufficiency is essential before beginning any vein treatment.
Who is an ideal candidate?
Our vein treatments are suitable for individuals who:
- Have spider veins or small varicose veins that show up on the legs, face, or other areas.
- Want a non-surgical option to improve their skin.
- Seek smoother, more even skin that looks more refined and balanced.

Our vein treatments
We offer a range of advanced, minimally invasive vein treatments tailored to your condition. Here’s what we offer.
- 01VenaCure EVLTVenaCure EVLT addresses both the cosmetic and medical aspects of varicose veins. It involves inserting a thin fiber into the affected vein to deliver a small amount of laser light energy. This energy causes the malfunctioning vein to close and seal shut. During the procedure, a local anesthetic is injected. You might feel an unfamiliar sensation, and this part takes only a few minutes.
- 02Laser ablationLaser Ablation, also known as Endovenous Ablation or EVLT, is often used for large varicose veins and vein symptoms like discomfort, heaviness, fatigue, restless legs, or cramps. It treats an underlying cause of vein disease, venous insufficiency. This procedure uses heat energy to eliminate unhealthy veins located a few centimeters deep in the legs.
- 03SclerotherapySclerotherapy involves injecting a medication, called a sclerosant, directly into the unhealthy vein. The sclerosant irritates the vein walls, causing the vein to collapse and close. This makes visible veins smaller and lighter.
- 04Foam sclerotherapyFoam sclerotherapy uses a sclerosant as a foam to close a vein, similar to liquid sclerotherapy. Your physician recommends it based on your ultrasound and evaluation.
