Do you have spider veins? Modern medicine can remove them. Innovative technology makes it possible to have spider veins lasered and thus rid your legs of the unsightly discoloration.

At the VENENCLINIC, Dr. Nikolaus Linde will advise you in a consultation. If you decide to have your spider veins lasered, the procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and the results are immediately visible.

Laser spider vein removal: The basics

Are you wondering what spider veins are and whether they are burst veins? This thought is often voiced, but the fear is unfounded. What is visible under the skin as a bluish mesh are functioning but dilated veins. As they run directly under the skin, they are very visible. By having the spider veins lasered, the fine veins are no longer supplied with blood and therefore visually disappear under the skin. You do not have to worry about sufficient blood flow, as this is of course maintained even after spider vein lasering. The network of blood vessels is so extensive that the absence of the former spider veins is of no consequence.

Before spider vein lasering

Before you have spider veins lasered, Dr. Linde will conduct a comprehensive consultation with you. In this confidential consultation, you will be informed in detail and clearly about spider vein laser treatment. Take your time to ask any questions you may have about spider vein lasering. Dr. Linde takes time for every concern, because your health and satisfaction are the focus.
Part of the appointment is also the so-called anamnesis. This involves discussing your health situation. This is important in order to correctly assess the function of the blood vessels and, if necessary, to discuss other measures in addition to spider vein laser treatment. At the VENENCLINIC, the so-called duplex ultrasound is carried out. This diagnostic procedure is completely painless and shows how the vascular system is doing. A venous pressure measurement is also part of this preliminary examination.

Laser removal of spider veins: The procedure at a glance

There are various laser procedures for removing spider veins with lasers. However, they all follow a similar pattern. The laser is set so that it penetrates the skin and hits the dilated veins directly. Its energy heats them to such an extent that the vascular walls contract and all blood flow is cut off at this point. This process is painless for you, as spider vein lasering takes place within milliseconds. The only sensation you will experience is a slight discomfort and the skin remains undamaged. No special aftercare is necessary after spider vein laser treatment. You do not need to wear a bandage or support stockings. You leave the VENENCLINIC and can go straight back to your everyday life.

Alternative to spider vein laser treatment: Foam sclerotherapy

If spider vein laser treatment is not your first choice for personal or health reasons, Dr. Linde also offers foam s clerotherapy. This involves the use of a medical foam that is injected directly into the small veins and fills them. The result is similar to spider vein laser treatment: The blood flow within the vein is cut off, eliminating the coloration under the skin.
