Laser vein therapy uses strong concentrated bursts of light to heat and close off spider veins appearing near the surface of the skin. Depending on the area that needs lasing, one to three treatments may be required. Your veins may appear bruised or darker red following treatment. This discoloration may take several months to fade.
