I had a little Botox for my eyes and juvaderm for my lips so I figured I would get rid,of the spider veins on my face. I was tired of trying to cover them. It's been 3 days since the procedure and I was horrified at the swelling. The clinic did not prepare me for it not did they suggest icing it. Just a cold cloth if there was burning. It does look like my spider veins have lessened considerably; for which I am happy; but I wish I had researched it further or the clinic nurse had not treated me so aggressively. Thank goodness for this site which got me through the long weekend with answers to my questions. I plan to go back to the clinic Monday morning for drugs to help with the swelling as suggested by your online Doctors. Updated on 30 Jan 2015: I hated always trying to keep the veins on my checks and nose and even inside my nostrils where they were visible. The laser treatment was quite extreme and done at a high setting so the swelling lasted a week instead of a couple days ; byut the results are fantastic. Just one treatment and I can wear a light foundation and feel comfortable all day. Even at the beach I will go makeup less and feel so much more confident in how my skin looks.
