What Are Spider Veins?

Spider veins are visible red, blue, or purple leg veins that form when the veins become dilated and join together just below the skin’s surface; they may be single veins that are barely noticeable, or they can spread out in a web-like pattern under larger areas of the skin. They are commonly found in the face and legs but can also appear on the torso or chest. On the face, spider veins are also known as broken capillaries or telangiectasia.

Unfortunately, spider veins cannot be prevented, and genetics plays a heavy role in their appearance. Strategies to help reduce your risk of spider veins include maintaining a healthy weight and wearing compression stockings when exercising if you have a family history of spider veins.

Spider Vein Treatment Options at Kingsway

At Kingsway Dermatology, we offer two methods of laser spider vein removal, along with sclerotherapy.

  • – excel V+ for Spider Vein Removal: excel V+ is an award-winning laser with the ideal wavelength to target spider veins, and its broad set of capabilities allows it to address a wide range of superficial to deep vascular concerns. During treatment, the visible blood vessel absorbs the heat from the laser, causing it to shrink and fade from view.
  • – IPL/BBL Laser Spider Vein Removal: Our Palomar Icon IPL (intense pulsed light) laser and Sciton® BBL (broadband light) laser use wavelengths of broad-spectrum light to target vessels in the skin, using heat to destroy the spider veins while leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected. The veins are then absorbed back into the body naturally.
  • – Sclerotherapy: Sclerotherapy is an injectable treatment for spider veins in the legs, where our dermatologists will inject the vein with a solution to irritate the vessel and cause it to fade over a 4-to-6-week period.

My doctor referred me to Dr. Poulos. On that visit, and since, the professionalism, genuine care and friendly support from Dr. Poulos, Kelly, Katie, Sanja and Chi have been exceptional. Their knowledge and attention to detail are impressive. The Centre itself is modern, clean, and well-maintained – a comfortable environment to be in. The state-of-the-art equipment and technology are reassuring and demonstrate their commitment to staying up-to-date with the latest advancements. Not to be excluded, the front office reception staff invariably provide timely and welcoming service and support. I highly recommend Kingsway Dermatology.

I'd been searching for a reputable clinic to explore cosmetic treatments and really wanted to find a doctor run dermatology clinic that really understood the space, Kingsway fit the bill! I booked a consultation and the experience was quite refreshing, no upsell, pure honesty and no pressure. I was able to comfortably ask the hard questions and ended up booking a lazer package. Katie has been wonderful, the results have been as expected and I can't recommend this clinic enough for the level of professionalism and understanding.

I've had a great experience at Kingsway Dermatology and Cosmetic Center. I had a consultation and decided based on my skin care goals that IPL would be a good option. I've had four IPL treatments by Katie so far and had very good results. I was very nervous about the procedure, but the staff were kind and professional and explained the process thoroughly and answered all of my questions before starting. I was provided great after care instructions. I would highly recommend Kingsway Dermatology and Cosmetic Center and will continue to visit for skincare treatments to reach my skin care goals.

Great service! Everyone is friendly and my technician, Emily, was so great - attentive, kind, and knowledgeable. The place is also spotless and quite modern. Also noteworthy, is the booking process and reminders you receive for upcoming appointments. Super helpful given that treatments can be spread out every 6-8 weeks.

A Glowing Experience with Kingsway Dermatology Clinic's Halo Laser!I recently visited Kaite at Kingsway Dermatology Clinic for a treatment with their Halo laser, and I'm absolutely amazed by the results! My skin has never looked better – it's radiant, smooth, and feels rejuvenated.From the moment I walked in, the clinic's staff were professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. They took the time to explain the Halo laser treatment process and what to expect, which eased my concerns and made me feel comfortable with my decision.The procedure itself was surprisingly easy and virtually painless. The Halo laser worked its magic, targeting skin imperfections and boosting collagen production to leave my skin looking fabulous. The best part? The results were visible almost immediately!I can't recommend Kingsway Dermatology Clinic and their Halo laser treatment enough. If you're looking to transform your skin, this is the place to go. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Dr. Poulos and the entire team go above and beyond! I have been a patient of Dr. Poulos for a number of years and have had excellent care for all of my dermatological issues. Recently I had a Halo laser treatment with Katie and I’m thrilled with the results so far. Each step of the healing process was explained thoroughly so I knew exactly what to expect. Katie took great care to explain what she was doing throughout the procedure and kept me very comfortable. Truly a wonderful experience! Thank you Kingsway Dermatology!

Dr. Fisher has been my dermatologist since I had cancer 12 years ago. What knowledge and what kindness! She explains everything in details, using at times analogies and drawings to educate patients. This is going beyond the call of duty to help patients understand their conditions. She is a great professor with considerable expertise in her field. I highly recommend her as a dermatologist and as a human being.

I went in to Kingsway Dermatology for a consultation and I was so happy with the appointment. Nadia was my consultant and she was so helpful and positive. She answered all my questions before I even asked them and she really listened to all my concerns. I felt like she really just got it. Probably one of the best consultations I've had. I really recommend talking to her for your consultation.The clinic is very clean and the staff was very friendly. The location is very easy to get to. There's also paid parking above ground and underground.

I cannot say enough good things about Kingsway Dermatology and Dr Ruppel. The results I get from my treatments with Dr R are second-to-none and she always has a way of making me feel incredibly at ease and comfortable. She’s a wonderful clinician and has an absolutely lovely bedside manner. She will go the extra mile to make sure you don’t feel rushed, that you feel welcome and that you’re more than just a number. I would recommend her twenty times over and I’m just thrilled that I found such a caring knowledgeable dermatologist. The clinic staff are also lovely, friendly and welcoming. Highly, highly recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Spider Vein Treatment is Right for Me?

When you come to Kingsway for your comprehensive spider vein removal consultation, our experts will sit down with you and review your skin concerns and goals. Once we determine the treatment that will help you achieve the results you’re hoping for, we’ll give you a better idea of what to expect, including the cost, number of sessions, and recovery time for whichever treatment is best for you.

Does Spider Vein Removal Hurt?

During laser spider vein removal, you may experience slight pain or discomfort, as with any of our other laser treatments. You may feel a slight burning or stinging sensation, but it only lasts for the duration of your laser treatment. For sclerotherapy, most patients do not experience any pain beside a slight pinch from the injection.

Is There Downtime for Spider Vein Removal?

After both therapies, patients generally return to daily activities immediately. You may initially experience some irritation, swelling, or bruising in the treatment areas after both sclerotherapy and laser vein removal treatments. Compression stockings may help to reduce pain and help the healing process.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Reducing the appearance of spider veins with laser treatment can take a few sessions depending on the area that is covered, and the number of vessels being treated. For sclerotherapy, the number of sessions will depend on the number of veins being treated.

Is the Treatment Permanent?

In most cases, treatment from both sclerotherapy and laser spider vein removal are permanent. However, it’s still possible for new spider veins to develop at any time, so it may be a good idea to keep wearing compression stockings and make sure you’re staying active!
