Spider Vein Removal in Toronto
What can the spider vein removal procedure do for me?
Spider veins are superficial facial and body veins that are visible as a result of dilated venules beneath the skin that many of us notice on our skin and would rather not have– in fact, about half of people over 50 are affected by varicose veins. The most popular and technologically-advanced treatment options are: the use of a specialized laser (Max G, Lux G, and YAG 1064nm), which emits a wavelength of light to safely target the pigment of the blood in the veins, as well as sclerotherapy, which uses the injection of a medical solution.
The result is a significant reduction in vascular lesions, varicose veins, blotchiness, telangiectasia. These types of imperfections continue to respond very well to laser treatment on our patients, helping to achieve their skin care goals.
Laser energy treatment is focused, so it does not damage nearby tissue and redirects the blood flow into deeper vessels, to achieve evened skin tone and lead the blood back to where it belongs.
What Causes Spider Veins?
Spider veins, reticular veins, and varicose veins develop when dilated blood vessels become visible under the skin. These unsightly veins commonly appear on the legs, face, and other areas due to venous insufficiency, genetic predisposition, or prolonged sun exposure. The condition may be worsened by:
✔ Extended periods of standing or sitting
✔ Hormonal changes, including pregnancy or menopause
✔ Aging and the natural movement of blood through weaker blood vessel walls
✔ Weight gain, which increases pressure on major leg veins
✔ Skin types that are more prone to vascular concerns
For those seeking an optimal treatment, our laser vein therapy offers an advanced laser technology solution for spider vein removal treatment with minimal discomfort and little-to-no downtime.

Before & After
The MaxG™ IPL
The MaxG IPL is optimized for clearing vessels and vascular lesions, offering superior vesse clearance that goes beyond single-wavelength lasers. And with their patented advances in pulsed-light performance, you can experience a comfortable, no-downtime treatment on your way to a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.
The Benefits of MaxG
Delivering dual bands of wavelengths to selectively target the absorption peaks of hemoglobin and preferentially heat blood in the presence of melanin, the MaxG offers superior closure of the larger, deeper facial vessels with Dynamic Spectrum Shifting.
The MaxG’s Dynamic Spectrum Shifting increases the concentration of near-infrared light with longer pulse widths to provide more uniform heating across the entire diameter of larger vessels.
In comparison to non-optimized pulsed light, the MaxG handpiece offers:
- More energy available across all pulse durations
- Greater peak power to address challenging small vessels
- Higher fluences to address mid-to-large-sized resistant vessels
Yag 1064nm
The Yag 1064nm wavelength laser coagulates blood vessels and constricts them, closing them off. The vessel then degenerates, and the visible veins disappear. This is the treatment of choice for vascular lesions with unsurpassed efficacy and client comfort.
The system’s patented innovations include:
- Skintel Melanin Reader: A revolutionary device that determines the average melanin density of skin prior to treatment for accurate, safer results.
- Advanced Contact Cooling™: Cooling maintains temperature at 5° Celsius during treatments for enhanced comfort and skin protection.

What to Expect During Your Spider Vein Treatment
1️⃣ Private Consultation – We review your medical history, assess the appearance of veins, and determine the best type of treatment.
2️⃣ Pre-Treatment Care – We discuss any current medications, including anti-inflammatory medication and herbal supplements, that may need to be adjusted before the procedure.
3️⃣ Laser Vein Therapy – A beam of laser energy is applied to unsightly spider veins, targeting the blood vessel walls for blood to clot, gradually reducing their appearance.
4️⃣ Post-Treatment Guidelines – We recommend compression stockings or compression socks to aid blood flow and improve circulation.
Recovery & Aftercare for Spider Vein Treatment
🔹 Minimal Downtime – Most patients return to their normal activities immediately.
🔹 Compression Support Garments – Wearing compression therapy aids in continued improvement and enhances circulation.
🔹 Sun Protection – Avoid sun exposure for a 4-to-6-week period to prevent skin irritation.
🔹 Activity After Treatment – Resume daily activities but avoid extended periods of standing for the first few days.
🔹 Follow-Up Sessions – Depending on the severity of the vein disorders, 3-4 sessions may be needed for optimal treatment.
How many sessions do I need?
The number of sessions is unique to each patient and during the initial consultation to discuss the treatment plan, you will be advised as to how many sessions are recommended for your skin condition. On average, 3-6 sessions are recommended.
