Spider veins or varicose veins are the visibly enlarged veins commonly found at the back of the thighs. These veins often appear in dark purple or blue in colour, and often look twisted and bulging. Spider and varicose veins can be treated via laser treatments, sclerotherapy, or surgery. You can consult a skin or aesthetic doctor to see which treatment is the most suitable for your skin condition.

Nd-YAG Laser, also known as YAG Spectra Laser, is a technologically-advanced non-ablative laser that can be used to treat several different skin conditions, like facial thread veins, dull skin, sagging skin, and excessive hair growth.
- GentleYAG®
- Pico Laser
- PicoSure®
PicoSure® represents the cutting edge of a type of laser technology known as short-pulse lasers. These lasers are designed to “flash” incredibly quickly, in PicoSure®’s case in trillionths of a second. This rapid flashing minimizes the amount of heat and creates a photomechanical effect that’s highly effective in removing tattoo ink and unwanted pigment. PressureWave™ technology is applied by using a unique wavelength of light (755nm) and a specialized lens to convert laser energy into gentle pressure. This pressure squeezes cells, activating the natural cell signalling processes that create new collagen and elastin without burning or damaging the skin. PicoSure® doesn’t rely on heat to burn away and destroy skin to force the body to heal. PicoSure®’s ultra-fast pulses and specialized wavelengths work together to minimize the amount of heat that is transferred. Less heat means less damage to surrounding skin and less risk of injury.
