Visible facial or leg veins can make your skin look red, uneven, or more noticeable than you would like. At Centre Esthétique Montréal, laser spider vein treatment targets small visible blood vessels on the cheeks, nose, around the nostrils, and legs with precision. The Nd:YAG laser wavelength is absorbed by hemoglobin inside the dilated vessel, allowing it to close and be gradually cleared by the body while preserving the surface of the skin. Every treatment begins with a consultation to assess your veins and create the plan for you. Your treatment is performed by experienced aestheticians at our two Montreal clinics, Old Port and Village. Book your consultation to get started.
Spider veins are small, dilated blood vessels visible through the skin, sometimes called broken capillaries. Facial veins often appear on the cheeks, nose, or around the nostrils and may be linked to sun exposure, skin thinning, rosacea, or genetics. Laser spider vein removal directs precise laser energy into the visible blood vessel, not the skin’s surface, without injections. The energy is absorbed by hemoglobin, helping the vessel close so the body gradually clears it over the following weeks. We treat the superficial blood vessels of the face, and appropriate superficial veins on the legs. During your consultation, we assess their location and appearance to create a tailored treatment plan that suits you.
Target small, visible spider veins and broken capillaries with our precise Nd:YAG laser treatment. Ideal for a focused area such as the nose, chin, a small cheek patch, or one localized vein cluster. The laser targets the vessel without injections, helping it gradually fade over the following weeks after treatment.

Treat larger or more widespread visible spider veins and broken capillaries with our Nd:YAG laser treatment. This option is ideal for a broader continuous area, such as both cheeks, the nose and chin, the legs, or a localized vein cluster. The laser targets vessels without injections, allowing them to fade over time.

Before your appointment, your aesthetician reviews the vessels you wish to treat, your medical history, and your suitability for laser vein treatment. Avoid sun exposure, self-tanners, retinoids, and exfoliating acids for several days beforehand. If your skin is tanned, your appointment will be postponed until it is safe to proceed with treatment.
Your aesthetician begins with eye protection and cooling for comfort. The laser is applied along each visible vessel. Most clients describe the feeling as a brief snap or moment of heat. Treatment length varies by area and the number of vessels treated; settings are tailored for your individual treatment needs.
Redness and mild swelling along the treated vessels are normal immediately after treatment and usually settle within a few days. Some vessels may darken before fading, then clear progressively over the following weeks. For the first 48 hours, avoid heat, direct sun, intense exercise, hot baths, saunas, and strong exfoliants.
Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen every day, especially on exposed treated areas, as sun exposure can contribute to visible facial veins and skin discoloration. Keep your routine gentle while your skin recovers, avoiding scrubs and exfoliating acids for several days. If further treatment sessions are needed, your aesthetician will recommend the appropriate interval between them.
Facial spider veins form when tiny blood vessels near the skin’s surface become enlarged and visible. Sun exposure, repeated flushing, rosacea, skin thinning, and genetics can all contribute. Heat, alcohol, spicy foods, and other individual rosacea triggers may also make facial redness and facial veins more noticeable over time.
Once a vessel responds to spider vein removal, it is closed and does not return as the same vessel. However, your skin can develop new visible vessels later, especially with sun exposure, rosacea, genetics, or natural changes over time. That is new vessel formation, not a relapse of the treated vein.
Treatment can be worthwhile when visible vessels or facial redness affect how you feel about your skin. Laser vein treatment is a targeted, non-injectable option designed to reduce their appearance. A consultation helps determine whether your concern is suitable for laser treatment and what level of improvement is realistically expected.
No. Skincare, creams, makeup, and green-tinted concealers can help soothe or camouflage redness, but they cannot close a visible blood vessel. At-home devices are not a substitute for professional laser spider vein removal. A consultation lets us determine whether laser is suitable and recommend a safe, personalized treatment plan.
The number of sessions needed depends on the size, colour, location, and density of your vessels, as well as your skin’s response to treatment. Some vessels respond after one session, while others need more. During your consultation, your aesthetician will create a personalized plan and advise when to return if further treatment is appropriate.
At our two Montreal clinics, laser treatment can target small, visible vessels on the cheeks, nose, and around the nostrils. We also treat appropriate superficial spider veins on the legs. Not every visible vein is treated in the same way, so we assess its location, size, and appearance at your consultation before recommending a treatment plan.
Yes. Our 1064 nm wavelength Nd:YAG laser is the gold standard for darker phototypes, but every treatment must still be customized. Your aesthetician assesses skin tone, vessel type, and recent sun exposure before selecting appropriate settings. This individualized approach prioritizes skin safety while addressing visible facial or leg vessels.
Temporary redness, mild swelling, warmth, darkening of a treated vessel, or light bruising can occur and usually settle as the skin recovers. Less common risks include pigment changes, blistering, or irritation. Your aesthetician will review expected aftercare, what is normal, and when to contact us before treatment begins.
Yes. A complimentary consultation at either of our Montreal clinics lets us assess the vessels you wish to treat, discuss your medical history, review your goals, and confirm suitability. It also lets us create a personalized plan, explain expected recovery and aftercare, and answer your questions before you decide whether to proceed with spider vein treatment.
