IPL Spider Vein Removal Malaga: clear facial thread veins, gently
Have you noticed small red veins around your nose or on your cheeks that make your skin look flushed, even without make-up? Facial spider veins are a common concern, and they can make you feel self-conscious about your skin. They usually appear because of genetics, sun exposure or skin conditions such as rosacea.
At PURÄ Clinic, we treat them with IPL, a gentle light treatment with no needles and no downtime. One thing to know first: IPL is the right tool for the face. Spider veins on the legs are deeper and are treated with sclerotherapy instead.

Intense Pulsed Light Treatment
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is our treatment of choice for spider veins on the face: around the nose, on the cheeks and on the chin. These capillaries sit very close to the surface, which is exactly where light works best.
IPL uses multiple wavelengths of light. The pulses penetrate the skin and are absorbed by the blood inside the dilated capillaries, which heat up, close and gradually fade away. Unlike traditional lasers, which use a single wavelength, IPL delivers a broad spectrum of light, so it can also even out redness and sun damage in the same session.
Patients can resume their daily activities immediately after a session, although several sessions are usually needed for the best results. For spider veins on the legs, which are deeper and connected to other veins, light is not enough: there we use sclerotherapy.
What are spider veins? What causes spider veins?
Spider veins are small, dilated blood vessels that appear close to the skin’s surface. They often form web-like veins that can be red, blue, or purple veins. Unlike varicose veins, which are larger and bulging, spider veins are typically flat and less pronounced. Spider veins are located most commonly on the legs and thighs, but they can also develop on the face, where they are referred to as facial spider veins.
The development of spider veins is often the result of heredity, meaning they can run in families. Other factors, such as prolonged standing, hormonal changes, aging, and sun exposure, can also contribute to their formation. Medically, spider veins are a form of telangiectasia, which occurs when small blood vessels expand abnormally and become visible through the skin.
Spider Vein Removal Treatment
Spider vein removal helps reduce the visible red lines on the face and improves the overall evenness of your skin. These veins form when a capillary becomes dilated and visible beneath the skin.
IPL uses pulses of light to target the affected capillaries without damaging the surrounding tissue. The heat causes the vessel to collapse and, over time, the body naturally reabsorbs it, leaving clearer, calmer-looking skin.

Frequently Asked Questions About Spider Vein Treatment
Is IPL used for spider veins on the legs?
No. On the legs, spider veins are deeper and usually fed by small reticular veins, so light alone does not clear them. For legs we use sclerotherapy, which closes the vein from the inside. IPL is reserved for the face, where the capillaries are very superficial.
How long does it take to recover?
Recovery is quick. Most patients have mild redness that fades within a few hours to a couple of days. You can return to your normal activities straight away, although it is important to avoid direct sun exposure and follow the aftercare advice.
Can IPL be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Many patients combine IPL on the face with sclerotherapy on the legs, or with treatments for redness and sun damage. Your specialist will design a plan that fits your case.
How soon will I see results?
Results are not immediate. Most patients notice the redness fading within a few weeks, and the best results appear after several sessions; two to four are typical, depending on the size of the capillaries.
Are the results permanent?
A treated capillary does not come back, but IPL does not prevent new ones from forming. Genetics, sun exposure and conditions such as rosacea can cause new facial spider veins over time, so daily sun protection and an occasional maintenance session help keep your skin clear.
Is IPL suitable for all skin types?
IPL works best on lighter skin tones. On darker or tanned skin there is a risk of pigmentation changes, so we always assess your skin first and will tell you honestly if another option suits you better.
Other IPL Laser Benefits You May Be Interested In
In addition to treating spider veins, IPL laser therapy offers benefits for skin concerns like Ruby Point and Body Spots Removal.
Ruby points, also known as cherry angiomas, are small red spots caused by clusters of blood vessels beneath the skin. IPL device emits pulses of light that target these vessels, causing them to fade over time. This light therapy is a safe and effective method for improving skin appearance without the need for invasive procedures.
IPL is also an effective way to reduce hyperpigmentation and sun damage, including dark spots and age spots on various parts of the body. The light energy breaks down excess melanin, allowing the body to gradually eliminate discoloration and restore a more even skin tone.
