Spider Vein Reduction in Sydney
No more visible veins, just beautiful skin.
Spider Vein Reduction
Spider veins are small, visible veins that can appear on areas like the legs, back, or face, often causing people to feel self-conscious. These veins, typically red or blue in color, form when blood vessels near the skin's surface become dilated. But the good news? You don’t have to live with them!
At Cosmedica Australia, we offer a light-based treatment called Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), which works by gently heating and targeting these visible veins, causing them to gradually fade away without the need for surgery or downtime.

What does
treat?
Spider veins
Small, visible veins on the surface of the skin.

Commonly found on the legs or face, these are small, dilated blood vessels close to the skin’s surface.
How does
Spider Vein Reduction
work?
Targeting the Veins
The IPL device delivers gentle light pulses that are absorbed by the blood in the spider veins.
Heating and Collapsing
The light generates heat, which causes the veins to collapse and shrink.
Body Absorption
Over the following weeks, your body naturally absorbs the treated veins, leaving your skin smoother and clearer.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) uses light energy to target and collapse spider veins, causing them to fade over time. The light energy is absorbed by the blood vessels, resulting in reduced visibility without damaging the surrounding skin.
-
IPL is commonly used to treat spider veins on the face, legs, and other visible areas. It is ideal for small, superficial veins that are red, blue, or purple in appearance.
-
Most clients see significant improvement after 4-6 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The number of sessions needed will depend on the size, depth, and location of the veins.
-
The treatment is generally well-tolerated, with most clients describing the sensation as a mild snap or warmth on the skin. A cooling gel is often applied to minimise discomfort.
-
After treatment, the treated veins may appear slightly darker or bruised. This is a normal response and usually fades within 1-2 weeks as the veins gradually disappear.
-
There is minimal downtime with IPL. You may experience mild redness or swelling immediately after treatment, but this typically subsides within a few hours. Normal activities can be resumed the same day.
-
Results are long-lasting, but maintenance treatments may be necessary over time to address new veins that can develop. Our team will recommend a plan to keep your skin looking clear and vein-free.
-
IPL is suitable for individuals with small, superficial veins and lighter skin tones. It’s not recommended for those with darker skin types due to the risk of pigmentation changes. A consultation will determine your suitability.
-
Side effects are typically mild and may include temporary redness, bruising, or slight swelling. Rarely, changes in skin pigmentation or blistering can occur. Our team will provide aftercare instructions to minimise risks.
-
Avoid sun exposure, self-tanners, and certain medications like blood thinners for at least 1-2 weeks before your appointment. Our team will provide a comprehensive list of pre-treatment guidelines during your consultation.
