There are two types of veins that contribute to discoloration for the legs: spider and varicose veins. Spider veins are the small, superficial purple or red vessels that look like webs under the skin; varicose veins are enlarged vessels that sometimes bulge and cause uneven skin texture. Until recently, the only treatment for varicose and spider veins involved needles or surgery. Fortunately, Mint Julep Medical Spa now offers a non-invasive laser therapy, in which light energy is transferred to the veins, causing them to fade and slowly disappear with minimal discomfort. To receive the fullest benefit, multiple sessions may be needed. A session is relatively quick, lasting only about 15 – 45 minutes.
