Spider veins get their name because they often resemble thin, spindly spider legs crawling across the skin. Although mostly harmless, they are unsightly and many feel self-conscious.
Fortunately, spider veins are treatable and we offer various treatments and services that can help you. They can potentially appear anywhere on the body, but the face is particularly sensitive and is, of course, the most visible.
Read on to learn more about spider veins on the face and how to get rid of them.
What are Spider Veins?
“Spider veins” are caused by damaged blood vessels beneath your skin that appear purple, blue, and/or red. Most often, they aren’t painful but in some cases can cause burning or itching; this usually occurs when they appear on the legs.
In addition to the legs, spider veins most often appear on the face. Although they may not bother you physically, many choose to treat them to improve the appearance of the skin. While annoying, spider veins are common and affect more than 50 percent of women, and become even more common after the age of 80.
Not to be confused with varicose veins, “spider veins” aren’t actually veins – they just look like them and the term is easy to say and remember. Varicose veins are, indeed, damaged veins and are also much larger.
Causes
Spider veins can appear for a variety of reasons. Unfortunately, one of the biggest factors is genetics. However, this isn’t the only thing that contributes. Other sources can include:
● Fluctuating hormones
● Trauma or injury to the skin
● Certain medications, including anabolic steroids
● Too much sun exposure
● Excessive alcohol consumption
● Lifestyle extremes – very sedentary, or extended periods of being on your feet
Skin Tightening
Our IPL skin tightening is a gentle and non-invasive treatment that addresses a variety of skin care concerns, including spider veins. This device uses intense pulsed light to help restore a youthful, healthy glow to the skin on the face and the rest of your body.
Our Lumecca IPL device uses special infrared light and heat to target the skin. This helps the body eliminate problem cells in the targeted area while also boosting collagen production. Collagen is a crucial element of healthy, firm, glowing skin. Collagen production slows as we age, which makes treatments like these particularly effective as they give you a little boost.
The treatments are as simple as sitting back and letting the device work on the targeted area, usually for about an hour. In addition to spider veins, this treatment can address things like:
● Acne
● Scarring
● Unwanted freckles
● Wrinkles
● Fine lines
● Age spots
● Sun damage
● Discolouration
● And more
Some of the key benefits of the Lumecca IPL device include:
● It’s quick, easy, and safe for use anywhere on the body
● It’s a comfortable and painless procedure
● There is no recovery or downtime needed
● It treats multiple skin issues and concerns at once
● It goes well with many of the other treatments we offer, giving you a strong and varied approach to reaching your skin goals

Skin Resurfacing
Skin resurfacing is another treatment that can help treat spider veins. We offer this service with the Venus Viva device. It’s a safe and non-invasive option for treating multiple skin concerns with amazing results.
It’s a small device that uses radiofrequency technology to gently resurface the skin without causing any pain or damage. Heat energy is applied directly to the skin, uniformly targeting the entire treatment area and stimulating fibroblasts to induce your body’s natural healing response. This creates a smooth surface with reduced damage.
By repairing the damage to the offending blood vessels, it reduces or even eliminates the appearance of spider veins. In addition to spider veins, the Venus Viva can address multiple concerns:
● Fine lines
● Wrinkles
● Sagging and aging skin
● Visible and enlarged pores
● Acne scars
● Uneven pigmentation
● Rosacea effects
It’s a great alternative to painful, invasive, and much riskier procedures and comes with many benefits:
● Treatments average 30 minutes or less – you can be in and out in time to get back to work or otherwise carry on with your day!
● It’s safe, gentle, and non-invasive
● It’s comfortable and painless
● It involves no downtime
● It treats multiple issues at once
● It’s suitable for all skin types
● Results are long-lasting
Natural Remedies
While professional treatment is the best way to ensure optimal and long-lasting results, there are some simple things you can do at home. These remedies are not proven but may be able to help the process along, especially if you perform them between treatments:
● Eat oranges. Oranges are high in vitamin C which contributes to collagen production and may be able to help reinforce blood vessels and maintain proper circulation.
● Castor oil. Castor oil has many known health benefits, one of which is its anti-inflammatory properties. By massaging warm castor oil onto the spider veins every day you may be able to reduce swelling and prevent blood clotting.
● Massage. Massaging an area can help stimulate circulation and blood flow, which may help a little with the appearance of spider veins. Massaging the area can also help reduce pain and swelling if you’re experiencing any discomfort.
Even if they don’t eliminate spider veins, these practices can help improve the health of your skin overall and help prevent the spider veins from becoming worse.
