Whether you’re dealing with visible facial veins, broken capillaries, or spider veins on the legs, our laser and light-based therapies provide a safe, effective solution for clearer, smoother skin.
What Are Spider Veins?
Spider veins are small, dilated blood vessels that appear near the surface of the skin, often forming web-like or branching patterns. They are commonly found on the legs, but can also appear on the face, especially around the nose and cheeks. Though typically harmless, spider veins can be a cosmetic concern for many people.
Factors like genetics, prolonged standing, hormonal changes, pregnancy, sun exposure, and aging can all contribute to their development.
What Can Treat Spider Veins?
At Essentials Medispa & Salon, we use the advanced Cynosure Icon™ MaxG™ IPL handpiece to treat spider veins and vascular lesions safely and effectively. This non-invasive device uses targeted intense pulsed light to heat and collapse the visible blood vessels beneath the skin. Over time, these vessels are reabsorbed by the body, and the discoloration fades.
This treatment is ideal for:
- Facial veins and redness
- Broken capillaries
- Leg veins
- Spider veins
- Rosacea and flushed skin
For clients with more extensive or deeper vascular concerns, we may recommend a treatment series or combine IPL with other therapies for optimal results.

Am I a Good Candidate for Spider Vein Treatment?
Most healthy adults bothered by visible facial or leg veins are good candidates for IPL spider vein treatment. Ideal candidates are those with fair to medium skin tones who are not currently tanning or using photosensitizing medications.
During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your skin, medical history, and goals to create a customized treatment plan. If IPL isn’t right for you, we’ll recommend alternative options to help you achieve similar results.
How Should I Prepare for Spider Vein Treatment?
To prepare for your treatment, we recommend avoiding sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners for at least two weeks beforehand. You’ll also want to discontinue the use of any retinoids, acids, or photosensitizing skincare products several days before your session. Staying hydrated and keeping your skin moisturized can support a smoother treatment experience. If you’re prone to bruising, you may also be advised to avoid blood-thinning supplements or medications prior to your visit.
Our team will give you clear, personalized prep instructions based on your skin and the treatment area.
What Can I Expect During and After Treatment?
Spider vein treatments with IPL are quick and minimally uncomfortable. Most sessions take 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the number and size of the areas being treated. You may feel a mild snapping or warming sensation as the light pulses target the veins, but there is no need for numbing in most cases.
After your treatment, the area may appear slightly red or flushed, and veins may temporarily darken before they begin to fade. Most clients resume normal activities the same day, though we’ll ask you to avoid direct sun exposure and intense heat for several days. Compression may be recommended for leg vein treatments. As your body naturally reabsorbs the treated veins, you’ll notice gradual clearing of the skin over the next 2 to 6 weeks.
For best results, a series of 2 to 3 treatments may be recommended, spaced several weeks apart.
