Feel confident in your own skin again
Inside our veins, we all have valves that keep our blood and vasculature running smoothly. Spider and protruding leg veins indicate damage or weakness in these valves This results in malfunction and prevents the blood from leaving the vein. When this happens, blood pools or backs up inside the vessel causing it to swell and appear closer to the skin, forming what’s known as spider veins.
Particularly with age, many men and women will deal with unsightly leg spider veins, telangiectasia and superficial facial veins. However, through the use of Cutera laser technology, our team can help make those issues a thing of the past by eliminating or lessening their appearance with spider vein treatment in Houston..

How Cutera laser spider vein treatment in Houston works
Step 1
Before treatment, it is important to examine the treatment area, including the back of the patient’s legs and thighs. This can determine if a varicose vein could be contributing to a spider vein present in the lower legs.
Where these varicosities exist can indicate if the spider vein could be originating from a leak in the great saphenous vein.
Step 2
If home remedies do not bring relief, ChristMD Med Spa can utilize the Cutera laser to improve the appearance of spider veins.
Cutera laser spider vein treatment offers a unique design and long wavelength. It allows treatment of patients of all skin tones and types.
Step 3
Our Cutera laser spider vein treatment in Houston is a quick process, lasting 5 to 10 minutes in most cases.
The Cutera laser delivers pulses of light energy which cause the blood within the vein to coagulate. Blood flow redirects to veins deeper below your skin's surface, where it should be. Over time the spider veins dissolve and become no longer visible.
