Hello, wondered about what type of laser is best for treatment of small spider veins. I did a bit of research and got answers from different derms and esthetic clinics using different laser and charging different prices (starting as low as $70 (CAN) up to $400 (CAN) per session ) and I wondered if the type of laser was related to the price and what I could expect from cheaper laser treatment...
