Say Goodbye to Spider Veins: Gold Standard Treatment at Glow Laser & Beauty
By: The Glow Laser and Beauty Team
-
Spider veins are small, visible blood vessels that often appear on the legs or face. While they’re harmless, they can be frustrating and affect how confident you feel in your skin. At Glow Laser & Beauty in Buda, TX, we offer safe, effective spider vein treatments using the 1064 YAG laser — the gold standard for laser vein removal.

What causes spider veins?
Spider veins (also called telangiectasias) are tiny, dilated blood vessels just under the skin’s surface. They can be triggered by:
- Genetics
- Hormonal changes
- Prolonged standing or sitting
- Sun damage
- Aging
Although they don’t usually cause medical issues, many people choose to treat them for cosmetic reasons.
Gold Standard Treatment at Glow Laser & Beauty
We use the 1064 YAG laser, considered the gold standard in laser vein treatments. This advanced technology precisely targets unwanted vessels. The laser energy heats the vein, causing it to collapse and fade away while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.
- Quick Treatments: Sessions are short and generally well-tolerated.
- Minimal Downtime: Expect slight redness or swelling that resolves quickly. Most clients return to daily activities right away.
- Effective Results: Treated veins gradually fade over several weeks as your body naturally clears them.
Laser vs. Sclerotherapy: Why We Chose the 1064 YAG
Traditionally, spider veins have also been treated with sclerotherapy, which involves injecting a solution directly into the vein. While effective, it can be uncomfortable and isn’t ideal for very small or facial veins.
The 1064 YAG laser offers a non-invasive alternative that:
- Works beautifully on both leg and facial veins
- Avoids needles and injections
- Provides precision targeting without damaging surrounding tissue
- Offers predictable, consistent results
For these reasons, the 1064 YAG laser is widely regarded as the gold standard for spider vein treatments.
What to Expect
Are you interested in getting treatment for spider veins? Here's what you can expect.
- Complimentary consultation: We’ll assess your veins and skin type to confirm you’re a good candidate.
- Treatment: The 1064 YAG laser delivers light energy in pulses directly into the vessel, collapsing it safely.
- Aftercare: We’ll provide simple post-care instructions, including sun protection and avoiding hot baths or strenuous exercise for a short time.
- Number of Treatments: Many clients see significant improvement after 1–3 sessions, depending on the number and size of veins.

Glow Tip
The best time to treat spider veins is in the cooler months, when you’re less exposed to the sun and more likely to wear longer clothing during the healing process.
At Glow Laser & Beauty, we’re proud to offer advanced spider vein treatments that are safe, effective, and non-invasive. Using the 1064 YAG laser — the gold standard for spider vein removal — we can help you achieve smoother, more even-looking skin and feel confident showing it off.
