These small vessels are often red or blue and are closer to the surface of the skin than varicose veins. They can look like “tiny tree branches” or “spider webs” with their short jagged lines. Spider veins are commonly found on the legs and are very often as a result of professions where one stands for long hours. They can cover either a very small or very large area of skin.
The causes of telangiectasias or these small superficial veins on the face include prolonged exposure to the sun, ageing, trauma, thinning skin, medical conditions, and certain habits such as smoking which is damaging to the skin.
Women tend to be affected by spider veins 2-4 times more commonly than men do, due to the fact that female hormones and pregnancies are so commonly implicated in their cause.
Thankfully, a few excellent treatment options exist to target and treat these vascular lesions:
Cutera ND:Yag – Long pulsed ND:Yag (1064nm wavelength) is the gold standard for fine vessel removal
Limelight
Acutip
Cautery with Secret RF
PLEASE NOTE: Varicose veins require an entirely different treatment approach such as sclerotherapy.
They really go to great lengths to make you feel comfortable. Everyone is very friendly and helpful and they also contact you after each treatment to ensure you are satisfied and don't have any problems after the treatment. I could immediately see a difference in my skin and would definitely recommend them to anyone!

My therapist is an outstanding therapist. She is gentle, professional, highly knowledgable and passionate about what she does. I look forward to my monthly treatments and feel each month is treated as a specific focussed treatment as apposed to a routine schedule. She is a lovely presence throughout the hour I am there and feel she really is the most experienced therapist.
Helen is very thorough and makes sure the treatment is correct for my skin at the time of treatment. Lovely, soft hands. Well worth the time spent.
Helen's thorough and delicate way of doing her treatments is only a pleasure having done treatments with her. She is highly recommended.
I came in so exhausted from my hectic lifestyle. The treatment was so relaxing and good for my state of mind. I feel so refreshed. It is like I have a completely new body. I enjoyed the scrub, wrap and massage. Overall, the experience was amazing. I will make time to at least come in once a month. Esther is brilliant. I love how she connects with my body and give me the best treatments. Thank you.
