Our board-certified physicians use laser therapy to get rid of spider veins on the face. They are highly skilled in the latest skincare technologies, including IPL treatment, and consistently deliver remarkable results.
We treat patients throughout Alpharetta and Atlanta for skin issues, including sun damage, spider veins, facial thread veins, and varicose veins at Trilogy Med Spa.
The IPL treatment option is most effective in areas of the face with visible red spider veins. These veins appear when the valves of the veins do not work properly. This results in congested blood in the veins that causes the veins to become enlarged and more visible at the surface level of the skin. Another factor that affects vein visibility is the thinning of the skin as you get older, sun damage, hormones, genetics, and certain inflammatory conditions that cause broken capillaries such as rosacea.

What are the risks?
IPL therapy is safe when done by a trained professional. This reduces the possibility of potential side effects, such as swelling, and scarring.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of light therapy sessions depends on the severity of spider veins and the treatment area. Each session can last between 15 – 45 minutes with treatment sessions every 4 weeks.
