Identify the concern before choosing treatment
Fine spider veins differ from larger varicose veins. Pain, swelling, heaviness, skin changes, ulcers or one-sided symptoms should be reviewed medically before any cosmetic device treatment is considered.
A doctor-led consultation reviews the appearance, history, previous treatment, skin type and relevant medical factors. The purpose is to select a suitable mechanism, not to force every concern into the same device or injectable.

Safety, limitations and realistic expectations
Possible effects include bruising, swelling, pigment change, blistering, incomplete response, recurrence and scarring. Larger veins or symptoms may require vascular assessment rather than aesthetic treatment.
Results vary. No treatment is also a valid option. The doctor may recommend observation, staged treatment, a test area or referral when that is safer.

Are spider veins the same as varicose veins?
No. Spider veins are smaller superficial vessels. Larger bulging veins or symptoms may indicate a different problem.
When is referral more appropriate?
Pain, swelling, heaviness, skin breakdown, ulcers, sudden changes or concern about deeper veins may require vascular evaluation.
Can a laser treat every spider vein?
No. Suitability depends on vessel size, depth, colour, location, skin type and the available device.
Can Singapore patients attend only for consultation first?
Yes. A consultation can clarify whether treatment at Medi Clinic or referral elsewhere is the safer next step.
Start with a doctor-led assessment
Tell the clinic which concern you want assessed, which location you prefer and whether you are travelling from Singapore. Bring details of previous procedures, products, medicines and relevant medical history.
