Concerns are simply starting points for conversation. This page is designed to inform, not to diagnose. Every individual presentation is unique.
Understanding Spider Veins & How to Clear Them.
Spider veins (telangiectasias) are tiny, dilated blood vessels that sit right beneath the surface of your skin. They look like thin, web-like red, blue, or purple threads, most commonly appearing on the sides of the nose, cheeks, thighs, and lower legs.
Unlike large bulging varicose veins, spider veins are primarily a cosmetic concern caused by vessel wall weakness, prolonged standing, sun exposure, or hormonal shifts. At 22 Luna, we offer gold-standard treatments including gentle sclerotherapy micro-injections and vascular laser therapy to safely close and dissolve unwanted veins with no surgery or downtime.
Affects over 50% of adult women and 40% of adult men by age 50.
Signs you may notice.
What people often experience when navigating this concern.
Possible causes.
Concerns typically stem from a combination of internal and external factors.
Natural Family Genetics
Inherited weakness in tiny vessel walls makes blood vessels prone to stretching and staying visible.
Prolonged Standing or Sitting
Jobs that require standing or sitting for long hours increase pressure in leg veins.
Hormonal Changes
Estrogen and progesterone relax the walls of blood vessels during pregnancy or hormonal therapy.
Sun Exposure & Skin Thinning
UV rays damage the collagen supporting facial capillaries, allowing them to dilate permanently.
When should you seek advice?
Consultation is not about emergency; it is about replacing guesswork with an unhurried medical perspective.
Possible treatment options.
These procedures represent clinical pathways often recommended for this concern. During your consultation, we evaluate which single option or combined protocol is most appropriate for your skin biology.
Sclerotherapy
A tiny micro-injection of a medical solution directly into the vein causes it to gently close, seal, and naturally dissolve away.
Q Switched / Vascular Nd:YAG Laser
Targeted laser light seals tiny facial capillaries through the skin without any needles or skin punctures.
Prevention & daily care.
Simple, effective habits that support barrier resilience and maintain clinical progress.
Wear light compression stockings during long flights or if your job requires standing all day
Take regular short walks to activate your calf muscles and keep blood flowing smoothly
Apply daily broad-spectrum SPF 50+ to your face to protect delicate facial capillaries from sun damage
Elevate your legs on a pillow for 15 minutes at the end of long days to reduce pressure
Frequently Asked Questions
Direct, transparent answers regarding spider veins.
Are treated spider veins permanently gone?
Yes! Once a vein is closed through sclerotherapy or laser treatment, it is permanently dissolved and reabsorbed by your body. If underlying genetic factors persist, new veins can occasionally appear in other areas over the years.
What is the difference between sclerotherapy and laser vein treatment?
Is there any recovery time after sclerotherapy?
