TLDR Laser therapy is a safe, effective, and preferred treatment for spider veins.
Laser therapy for the treatment of spider veins was considered an excellent modality that could be easily incorporated into contemporary gynecology practices. It provided an alternative to sclerotherapy, which involved risks such as deep vein thrombosis, pain, and skin ulceration. Laser treatments, using technologies like pulse dye and Argon lasers, were effective and preferred by patients who feared needles and associated pain. Clinicians were encouraged to seek postgraduate education to effectively use these devices.
