Vascular Thermo Coagulation - Spider™

Clearer Skin. Greater Confidence. Vascular Thermo-Coagulation is a targeted treatment used to reduce the appearance of superficial vascular lesions, including spider veins, thread veins, and broken capillaries. Using controlled thermal energy, the treatment targets visible vessels without damaging the surrounding skin, helping to restore a clearer and more even complexion. What is Vascular Thermo-Coagulation? Vascular Thermo-Coagulation is a non-invasive treatment designed to address small superficial blood vessels that have become visible through the skin. These vessels may develop due to genetics, sun exposure, ageing, rosacea, hormonal influences, pregnancy, or lifestyle factors. While they are usually harmless, they can become cosmetically concerning, particularly when located on the face or legs. The treatment uses a fine probe to deliver controlled thermal energy directly to the affected vessel. This heat causes coagulation within the vessel, allowing the body to gradually reabsorb and clear the treated vessel over time. Treatment Experience The treatment is performed using a fine probe that briefly contacts the skin surface. Patients typically experience a mild warming or pinching sensation during treatment. Most treatments are well tolerated and require little to no downtime. The duration of treatment depends on the number and size of the vessels being treated. Recovery and Results Following treatment, mild redness or temporary swelling may occur in the treated area. Small vessels may appear darker initially before gradually fading as the body clears the treated tissue. Some vessels respond after a single treatment, while others may require additional sessions depending on their size and characteristics. Results develop progressively as the body's natural healing processes occur. Frequently Asked Questions: How does the procedure work exactly? The thermocoagulation procedure uses a SPIDER machine which generates a pulse that produces the thermo-coagulation of veins resulting in their immediate disappearance with no risk of adverse effects or epidermis damage. The ultra-fine, sterilized, needles used in this treatment are disposable and coated with an insulating material. In no case, does it affect surrounding tissues due to its accurate operating range. How long does the treatment take? Most procedures take about 10 to 15 minutes, and they do not require any special care afterwards. A single session is enough in some cases, although two to four sessions are necessary for many severe spider vein cases. What are the benefits of undergoing a spider vein procedure? The procedure is quick, and the results are immediate and long-lasting. It can be applied on any part of the body, even in the most sensitive areas, such as ankles, knees or face. No anaesthesia or bandages are required; the patient can return to regular activity immediately. There are no scars, hematomas, allergic reactions, burns or necrosis afterwards. Who is SPIDER thermo-coagulation treatment intended for? It is intended for all adults having telangiectasias, rosacea, erythema and ruby points. Is the treatment painful?  There is certain discomfort, but it is minimal. A topical cream anaesthetic is applied to the skin before the procedure.  What does after-treatment consist in?  Immediately after treatment, you may experience some itching, heat or minor discomfort in the treated area, which may last about 1 hour. Small papules (as small blisters) may be seen in the treated area, but they will disappear quickly. The patient may resume his/her normal activities immediately. A few days after the session, some small red points or little scabs may appear where the shots were performed, and vascular traces will be highlighted. This indicates that the blood vessel internally coagulated, and the body will be in charge of removing the coagulated tissue. Can spider veins (telangiectasias) reappear?  Thermo-coagulated telangiectasias definitely disappear and will not reappear. New ones may appear but not the treated ones. Is the treatment expensive? Typically, the cost of the treatment is lower than that of laser or sclerotherapy. The cost will depend on the area to be treated, but it is an affordable treatment.
