Maintenance schedules vary. Most Georgetown providers recommend periodic refresh sessions every 6–12 months once optimal results are achieved.

Most patients wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation on freshly-treated skin.

Sclerotherapy injects a solution that irritates the vein wall, collapsing it, the decades-proven gold standard for leg spider veins, where vessels are large enough to enter with a fine needle. Vascular lasers coagulate the vessel through the skin, ideal for facial veins, tiny matting, and needle-averse patients. Many treatment plans use both: injections for the feeders, laser for the fine residue.

A properly collapsed vein is permanently gone. The body absorbs it over weeks. What returns is the tendency: people who form spider veins keep forming new ones over years (genetics, hormones, standing occupations, pregnancy). Most patients do a touch-up session every year or two for new arrivals rather than re-treating old ones.

Because visible spider veins are sometimes the surface symptom of refluxing deeper veins (venous insufficiency). Treat only the surface and results disappoint fast. The pressure source keeps painting new veins. Screening for reflux (heaviness, aching, ankle swelling are the tells) is the mark of a serious vein practice; if reflux exists, it's treated first, often with insurance coverage.

Counterintuitively, treated veins look worse before they vanish (darker, bruise-like, sometimes with trapped blood that the provider may drain at follow-up). Fading takes 3–8 weeks per session, and most people need 1–3 sessions for a satisfying clearance. Start in fall or winter if you want clear legs by shorts season.

The needles are tiny and most solutions are lidocaine-mixed. Expect small stings and mild cramping sensations, very tolerable without numbing. Facial laser treatment feels like brief warm snaps. Neither requires downtime beyond compression stockings for legs.

Facial vessels (around the nose, cheeks, chin) are laser and IPL territory; they're too fine for needles. One to three quick sessions usually clears them. If facial redness is diffuse rather than discrete vessels, that's rosacea management and BBL/IPL is the better conversation.
