Spider Veins, Leg Veins, Blood Vessels, Facial Veins
Spider veins are small, thin, blood vessels visible beneath the skin. They appear most commonly on the face and legs and may look like a series of lines, tree branches, or a spider- or web-like shape with a dark center. It is estimated that they affect nearly half of adult women in the U.S.
Facial veins can be treated in 1-2 sessions. Results are immediate and healing time is minimal. Leg veins can take 2-3 sessions to treat and results can be complete within 3 months.

Vein Wave
What is a vein wave?
There are two issues here
Facial red veins are best treated by laser, may need about 3 cessions with the proper laser, NOT THE DO IT ALL LASER
leg veins are best treated by sclerotherapy , Injecting the veins with salt water or othe medications, I preffer concentrated salt water
it requires 3-6 cessions
Cost for the laser or sclerotherapy is about $400 per session
