Spider Veins & Vascular Lesions
Effective treatment for spider veins and vascular lesions - no surgery, minimal downtime.
At Beam & Bare, we offer non-invasive laser vein treatments to effectively reduce the appearance of spider veins, vascular lesions, and broken capillaries, helping restore a clearer, more even-toned complexion and skin confidence.
What Are Spider Veins and Vascular Lesions?
Spider veins are small, dilated blood vessels that appear close to the skin's surface, often red, purple, or blue in colour. They may resemble a spider web or fine branches and are typically found on the legs, ankles, and face.
Vascular lesions, such as telangiectasia and cherry angiomas, are clusters of capillaries or blood vessels that have become visible due to skin thinning, trauma, or circulatory changes.
What Causes Them?
- Genetics / Heredity
- Occupations requiring prolonged standing (e.g. nurses, teachers, retail workers)
- Excess weight or sedentary lifestyle
- Sun exposure, especially facial veins
- Hormonal fluctuations from pregnancy, menopause, puberty, or oral contraceptives
- Postmenopausal hormone therapy
- History of blood clots
- Abdominal pressure from tumours, constipation, or tight garments
- Use of vasodilators or substances that widen blood vessels
Symptoms You May Experience
- Aching, burning, or throbbing in the legs
- Heaviness or tiredness in the lower limbs
- Swelling or itching around the vein site
- Leg cramps or restlessness, especially at night
- Skin discolouration, ulcers, or texture changes in advanced cases
- Flare-ups during menstruation or pregnancy
How Laser Vein Therapy Works
Our state-of-the-art laser technology delivers pulses of light that selectively heat and collapse unwanted veins, causing them to fade gradually as your body naturally reabsorbs the treated vessels. Healthy surrounding tissue is unaffected, and there is no incision or scarring involved.
Compression Socks: Pre & Post Care
For vein treatments on the legs, we recommend medical-grade compression socks to improve circulation and optimize results.
Before Treatment
- Wear compression socks if standing for long periods the day of your appointment
- Stay well-hydrated and avoid sun exposure on the treatment area
After Treatment
- Wear compression socks daily for 5-7 days following each session to support blood flow, reduce swelling, and enhance healing
- Avoid hot baths, strenuous activity, or prolonged sun exposure for 48 hours
- Apply SPF daily to treated areas if exposed to sunlight
- Do not pick or rub the treated area
What to Expect
- Treatment Areas: Face, legs, ankles, chest
- Session Time: 15-45 minutes
- Sensation: Feels like a brief snap or warm pulse - well-tolerated
