What are spider veins?
Typically located on the legs and face, spider veins are little, branching blood vessels that are visible through the skin. Caused by many factors like genetics and age, spider veins may be purple, red, and blue, which makes them hard to hide. As spider veins usually get worse over the years and become more visible, it is smart to get help when you first notice them. To minimize the look of blood vessels on the body and face, Kat Motlagh's Health Clinics performs noninvasive laser vein removal with xeo® by Cutera sessions for Palmdale, CA, women and men. At your initial consultation, Dr. Katayoun Motlagh and her team will develop a customized plan based on your unique needs and goals for your laser vein reduction treatment.

How does spider vein treatment work?
Nonsurgical vein treatment sessions are completed in our Palmdale, CA office as an outpatient procedure in around 20 – 40 minutes, based on the number of areas treated. During your treatment, you will lay comfortably in a private treatment room as the skin is prepared. If requested, a topical anesthetic can be used before your session to reduce any potential discomfort. The xeo laser handpiece is passed across the area so the laser and light energy can reach the spider veins with a series of pulses that don't harm the skin. The blood vessel takes in the energy of the laser, which collapses the vessel wall. You will be allowed to leave right after the treatment to resume your normal routine.
After your laser vein reduction session, you may notice bruising, redness, and swelling; however, these symptoms should subside within 7 – 10 days. It is important to avoid extended sun exposure, and you should apply sunscreen frequently to areas that have been treated. Several patients see visible improvements immediately, but results will vary for every person. In your initial consultation with Dr. Motlagh and her team, potential results will be discussed as well as suggestions on how many treatments are needed to reach your optimal results. New spider veins will likely develop in time, so touch-up procedures may be performed as needed.
