If you’ve been considering spider vein treatment for a while, but can’t separate fact from fiction, then don’t worry! We’ve taken some of the most common myths surrounding spider vein treatment and provided you with the truth. This will allow you to make an informed decision about whether laser spider vein treatment is the right choice for you.

1. Spider Vein Removal is Dangerous

There is often a misconception that laser spider vein removal is dangerous because you are removing blood vessels that your body supposedly needs. This myth vastly underestimates the number of veins we have in our bodies. Removing a few centimeters worth of spider veins will not make any difference to you or your health. Your body won’t notice it! This means that laser spider vein removal is both safe, and effective.

2. My Spider Veins Will Just Come Back

Another common myth is that a couple of months after your laser spider vein treatment, your spider veins will creep back in. This simply isn’t true; once they are removed, they’re gone. You may find that “new” spider veins appear in similar spots or areas near the ones that were removed. However, this will not be the original spider veins that were removed during your treatment.

3. Men Don’t Get Spider Veins

This simply isn’t true. Issues with veins can affect both men and women, and whilst it tends to be women who suffer more from the issue, men are still part of the club.

4. Treatment for Spider Veins is Invasive and Doesn’t Work Very Well

We live in a world where technology is constantly advancing and the latest technology of spider vein treatments is virtually comfortable and provides fantastic results. You’ll find that most of your spider veins will fade after the first treatment; however, if you’ve got some particularly stubborn veins, then these may require a repeat treatment to fully benefit from the results.
