What Is Cosmetic Vein Removal?
Cosmetic vein removal targets non-functional superficial blood vessels that sit close to the surface of the skin. These include:
- Telangiectasias (broken capillaries)
- Spider veins (small red, purple, or blue veins)
- Reticular veins (slightly larger but still cosmetic in nature)
We offer two medical-grade options at Spectrum Skin Clinic:
- Asclera® (Polidocanol) – a prescription sclerosant solution injected directly into leg or body veins to collapse and fade them over time. Ideal for reticular and spider veins on the legs.
- Nordlys YAG Laser (Candela) – a long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser system designed to treat tiny vessels on the face and body, especially where injection is not ideal (e.g., nose, temples, chest, or under the eyes).

Ideal Candidates
You may qualify for treatment if you:
- Have visible spider veins or telangiectasias on the legs, face, chest, or hands
- Are in good overall health with no history of clotting disorders
- Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- Are not currently using blood thinners (or under appropriate medical clearance)
- Are seeking cosmetic improvement, not treatment for medical varicose veins

Who Should Get Asclera® vs. Nordlys YAG Laser?
| Concern | Best Option | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Leg veins (spider or reticular) | Asclera® | Works from the inside to collapse visible vessels |
| Chest, hands, arms | Asclera® or Nordlys, depending on vessel depth | |
| Facial telangiectasias (cheeks, nose, chin) | Nordlys YAG Laser | Laser seals capillaries precisely with minimal trauma |
| Under-eye veins / infraorbital / temples | Nordlys | Safer than injection for delicate facial anatomy |
| Red veins vs blue veins | Red: Laser, Blue: Asclera or Laser depending on depth | |
| Dr. Munib evaluates each case to ensure the safest and most effective choice based on vein size, color, and location. |
What Are Facial Telangiectasias?
These are small, dilated capillaries that appear as fine red or purple lines—often on the cheeks, around the nose, or chin. They’re common with:
- Rosacea
- Sun damage
- Hormonal shifts
- Genetic predisposition
They respond particularly well to Candela Nordlys YAG, which targets and closes off these vessels using selective thermal energy with minimal injury to surrounding tissue.

Number of Sessions and Results
- Most patients require 2–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on the severity and density of the veins.
- Asclera results begin appearing in 3–4 weeks, with gradual fading of treated veins.
- Laser results can be more immediate, with vessels fading over 1–2 weeks post-treatment.
Maintenance may be needed annually, especially if new veins form due to genetics, activity, or lifestyle.

Before and After Vein Removal
Before (Left):
- Visible purple and red spider veins are branching across the skin’s surface, with clear telangiectatic patterns.
- The skin appears slightly inflamed or shiny—possibly due to pre-treatment gel or topical antiseptic application.
- Vessels appear concentrated and superficial, suggesting they’re ideal candidates for cosmetic laser or injectable treatment.
After (Right):
- The targeted spider veins are significantly reduced or faded, with only faint remnants visible.
- Skin tone appears more uniform and less inflamed.
- No evidence of bruising or irritation, indicating a smooth post-procedure recovery.
- Mild vascular remnants suggest early healing phase or a patient midway through a multi-session treatment plan.
What This Image Demonstrates:
- Effective clearance of small-to-medium spider veins within one or more treatment sessions.
- Improvement in cosmetic appearance and vascular clarity.
- Minimal surface trauma and excellent patient tolerance, which is key for high-satisfaction outcomes.

What to Expect: Downtime and Recovery
- Asclera: Mild bruising, swelling, or firmness over treated veins for several days; compression stockings are usually recommended post-treatment.
- Laser: Mild redness and possible welting for 24–48 hours; no compression needed.
Normal activity can typically be resumed the same day. Sun protection is essential to prevent pigmentation changes during healing.

Alternative or Complementary Options
- IPL (Nordlys SWT) for diffuse redness or early capillaries
- Microneedling + Exosomes for skin recovery if scarring or pigmentation is present after vein collapse
- RF Microneedling to tighten and rebuild skin quality after vascular treatments
Spectrum Skin Clinic offers layered approaches when appropriate to treat not just the vein—but the overall skin environment, especially in sun-damaged or rosacea-prone skin.
