Spider veins are superficial leg veins that occur when tiny veins congregate below the surface of your skin, causing red, blue, or purple discolorations. They can develop anywhere but are most common on the face and legs.
Some of the most common causes of spider veins include:
- Heredity
- Weight fluctuations
- Pregnancy
- Jobs that require prolonged sitting or standing
- Hormonal shifts
If you are feeling self-conscious about your spider veins, there are several effective skin treatments available for reducing the appearance of the veins and giving you the clear skin you desire.

V-Beam Therapy For Spider Veins at our Kelowna Clinic
While they are typically harmless, visible and unsightly spider veins in your arms/legs/face can cause self-consciousness and embarrassment. A revolutionary spider vein therapy, V-Beam is a pulsed-dye laser that works by delivering pulses of light to the treatment area.
These are absorbed by the abnormal blood vessels which then coagulate and are reabsorbed into the body as part of the natural healing process.
Why Opt For V-Beam Laser Therapy For Your Spider Veins?
Compared to other vascular lasers, V-Beam therapy offers a safer, more powerful and more effective treatment option. Patients can experience many benefits, including:
- Quick treatment time
- No recovery period
- Dramatic improvement after just a few treatments
- Less bruising and fewer side effects
- A more comfortable procedure thanks to the in-built cooling system
What Results Can I Expect From the V-Beam Laser Therapy?
Before undergoing this laser therapy, you must understand that it can take anywhere from 1-5 treatments to get the full results you desire. However, most patients experience significant improvement after the first treatment.
Immediately after your treatment, you should expect the following:
- A temporary and mild stinging or irritation in the treatment area
- Some swelling (lasts less than 24 hours)
- A few spots of purple bruising which will disappear within 1 week
If you are having any discomfort, this should fade very quickly. However, you can use a cold compress to accelerate healing.

Is V-Beam Laser Therapy Right For Me?
