Overview
Spider veins are dilated capillaries that appear on the skin and can appear red, blue, and purple in color. Since they are commonly found on the face, many patients seek treatment to diminish their appearance for cosmetic reasons. Board-certified facial surgeon Dr. Vu Ho use laser vein removal with Elite MPX to safely and effectively remove facial spider veins. Facial spider veins are most commonly treated using the laser to deliver pulses of laser light that cause the veins to collapse. Once the veins are collapsed, the patient can expect clearer, vein-free skin for an enhanced look. Contact Beyond Beautiful today to set up a consultation at our facility in Plano, TX.
What to Expect
Before treatment, the skin will be properly cleaned and prepped. The doctor will place the Elite MPX laser on the surface of the skin to target the unwanted spider veins. The heat from the laser damages the vein, which leads to the formation of scar tissue. This scar tissue will cause the vein to close, and once it closes, its blood source is lost. Consequently, the vein will die. Since this is an in-office procedure, patients will be able to resume normal activities after treatment.
Best Candidates
During a consultation, a medical professional will help determine if laser vein removal is right for you in order to achieve your goals. The ideal candidates for laser vein removal:
- Have small spider veins on the face
- Desire a noninvasive procedure
- Desire long-lasting results
- Wish to improve appearance

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes spider veins, and are they harmful?
Spider veins can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, and prolonged standing or sitting. These veins are usually harmless but can sometimes cause side effects like discomfort or aching. It's always best to consult with a medical professional if you have concerns about spider veins in Plano, TX.
Is laser treatment safe for treating spider veins?
Yes, laser treatment is considered a safe and effective option for treating spider veins. It uses targeted light beams to collapse the veins without damaging surrounding tissue. However, it's essential to have this procedure done by a qualified professional, such as Dr. Ho. Our team will ensure that the process is performed safely and with minimal discomfort.
How do I prepare for laser vein removal?
Before your appointment, our professionals at Beyond Beautiful may provide a set of pre-treatment instructions and guidelines. These guidelines may include avoiding certain medications and informing us of any underlying medical conditions. Patients should follow these instructions carefully to ensure the best results and avoid any potential complications.
Anticipated Results
Since laser treatment is noninvasive, it can take 1 – 2 years before the vein completely disappears from sight. Multiple treatments are needed for full results. During a consultation, your doctor will determine the number of sessions you will need. Sessions are normally spaced out 6 – 12 weeks apart to allow the skin to heal.
