Maintenance schedules vary — most Queens 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.
