Spider Vein Treatment - Aftercare

After laser or radiofrequency treatment, skin reddening is usually present for a few hours. Bruises (hematomae) are also possible. In exceptional cases, small crusts or scabs appear. If spider veins have been removed, it is possible that temporary mispigmentation may occur. Sunlight should be avoided for 6-8 weeks after treatment. For optimal treatment results, multiple sessions carried out at 4-6 week intervals may be necessary.^1,6
