Lutronic Clarity II Spider Vein Treatment in Montreal
Spider veins (telangiectasias) are small, damaged blood vessels visible just beneath the skin surface, appearing as red, blue, or purple webs on the legs, face, and chest. At Reimagine Clinic in Montreal, we use the Lutronic Clarity II, a dual-wavelength medical laser that precisely targets and collapses these vessels without affecting surrounding tissue. The result is visibly clearer skin with no injections, no surgery, and no recovery time.
How Does Laser Spider Vein Treatment Work?
The Lutronic Clarity II emits concentrated pulses of laser energy directly into the target vein. The haemoglobin in the blood absorbs this energy, which causes the vessel wall to coagulate and collapse. The body then naturally reabsorbs the treated vessel over 4 to 6 weeks, causing it to gradually fade from view. Because the laser energy is precisely tuned to haemoglobin, surrounding skin tissue is left undisturbed. The Clarity II’s integrated cooling system protects the skin surface throughout each pulse, keeping sessions comfortable for most patients.
What Types of Veins Can Be Treated?
The Lutronic Clarity II effectively treats:
- Spider veins on the legs, ankles, and feet
- Facial telangiectasias — visible capillaries on cheeks, nose, and chin
- Rosacea-related redness and diffuse facial flushing (see our rosacea concern page)
- Cherry angiomas — small red spots from benign vascular overgrowths
- Nasal vessels and perinasal capillaries
- Small reticular veins (feeder veins beneath spider vein clusters)
For larger varicose veins, sclerotherapy is typically required. We assess the type and depth of your vessels at consultation to recommend the right approach.
What Does a Session Feel Like?
Most patients describe the sensation as a series of quick, mild snapping feelings as the laser pulses along each vessel. The Lutronic Clarity II features an integrated cooling system that keeps sessions comfortable for most patients. No topical anaesthetic is required for facial treatment. For leg treatments, a cooling gel may be applied. Sessions typically last 15 to 45 minutes depending on the number and size of areas being treated.
What Happens After Treatment?
Immediately after your session, treated vessels may appear slightly darker or redder for a few hours. Mild swelling or redness in the area is normal and typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours. The treated vessels begin fading progressively over 4 to 6 weeks as the body clears the coagulated vessel material. You can return to your daily activities immediately. Avoid heat (saunas, hot baths) and intense exercise for 48 hours. See our aftercare hub for full instructions.
Why Does the Lutronic Clarity II Outperform Sclerotherapy for Small Veins?
Sclerotherapy (injecting a solution into the vein) remains the gold standard for larger varicose veins, but for spider veins and small telangiectasias the Lutronic Clarity II is often the superior choice. There are no needles involved, no compression stockings required afterward for most facial treatments, and the dual wavelengths allow us to target vessels at multiple depths. For patients who are needle-averse or treating facial vessels, laser treatment is generally preferred. Your physician will advise the best approach for your specific vein type at consultation.
Preventing New Spider Veins After Treatment
Treated spider veins do not return after successful laser treatment. However, new vessels can form over time, particularly with risk factors like prolonged standing, hormonal changes, sun exposure, or family history. Wearing compression socks during long periods of standing or travel significantly reduces new vein formation on the legs. Daily SPF 50 on treated facial areas, especially post-treatment, helps prevent UV-triggered new vessel growth. Visit our spider veins concern page for a complete prevention guide.
Preparing for Your Appointment
Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanner on treatment areas for 4 weeks before your session. Do not apply lotion, oil, or makeup to leg treatment areas on the day. Shave leg treatment areas 24 hours before if needed. Disclose all medications especially blood thinners, photosensitizers, or recent retinoid use. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before. Full preparation details are confirmed at your complimentary consultation.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Most adults with spider veins on the face or legs are excellent candidates for Lutronic Clarity II laser treatment.
Ideal candidates:
- Visible spider veins or capillaries on face, legs, or chest
- Fair to medium skin tones (Fitzpatrick I through IV)
- Non-pregnant adults in general good health
- No active skin infection or open wounds in treatment area
- Patients who have avoided sun exposure for at least 4 weeks
We do not treat: large varicose veins (require sclerotherapy or phlebology), active infections, or patients on blood thinners without physician clearance. A complimentary assessment confirms suitability before treatment begins.
Post-Treatment Care
- SPF 50+ daily on treated areas starting immediately
- No heat (sauna, hot baths, hot yoga) for 48 hours
- No intense exercise for 48 hours post-treatment
- No picking or rubbing the treated area for 1 week
- Compression socks recommended for leg treatments during the first week
- Gentle cleansing only, no actives or scrubs for 5 days
Combining Treatments
Spider vein laser treatment pairs well with several other services at Reimagine Clinic. For patients with overall facial redness and diffuse vascular texture, combining the Lutronic Clarity II with IPL skin rejuvenation delivers broader clarity in fewer total sessions. Laser sun spot removal is often booked alongside vascular treatment for comprehensive skin rejuvenation. For facial skin quality improvement, adding a microneedling or chemical peel session 4 weeks after vascular treatment produces excellent combined results.

we're here to answer all your spider vein questions
Most spider veins on the face respond well in 1 to 2 sessions. Leg spider veins typically require 2 to 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart depending on the density and depth of the network. We assess your vessels at your complimentary consultation and give you a realistic session estimate before any treatment begins.
Most patients describe the sensation as a series of quick, mild snapping feelings. The Lutronic Clarity II features an integrated cooling system that keeps treatment comfortable. Facial treatments are generally well-tolerated without numbing. Leg treatments on larger areas may feel slightly more intense. We adjust settings to your comfort throughout the session.
Not immediately. Treated vessels typically darken slightly right after the session, then begin fading progressively over 4 to 6 weeks as the body reabsorbs the coagulated vessel material. Most patients see significant clearing by week 4. Final results are assessed at 6 weeks before deciding if additional sessions are needed.
Veins that are successfully treated do not return. However, new spider veins can form over time due to genetics, prolonged standing, hormonal changes, or continued sun exposure. Wearing compression socks for leg veins and daily SPF 50 for facial vessels significantly reduces the likelihood of new vein formation. See our spider veins concern page for full prevention guidance.
For small spider veins and facial telangiectasias, laser treatment is generally preferred because it requires no needles and no compression stockings afterward for most cases. For larger reticular veins and varicose veins, sclerotherapy or phlebology referral is the appropriate path. We assess each case at consultation and recommend the correct approach for your specific vein type and size.
The Lutronic Clarity II uses two wavelengths: the 755nm Alexandrite targets superficial vessels and the 1064nm Nd:YAG penetrates deeper tissue. This dual-wavelength capability allows us to treat vessels at different depths safely in one device. Its integrated cooling system also makes it one of the most comfortable vascular laser platforms available, and its precision settings allow our physicians to tailor every session to your skin tone and vessel type.
Common side effects are mild and temporary: slight redness, minor swelling, and temporary darkening of the treated vessels for a few hours to a few days. Bruising occasionally occurs on leg treatments. Blistering or pigmentation changes are rare when treatment is performed with the correct settings for your skin tone. Our physicians customize every session to minimize risk.
Yes. We frequently combine Lutronic Clarity II vascular treatment with IPL skin rejuvenation for broader facial redness reduction, with laser sun spot removal for comprehensive skin clearing, and with microneedling or chemical peels for overall skin quality. Combination sessions are designed at your consultation.
