Motus AZ+ is a dual-wavelength laser system featuring 1064 nm Nd:YAG and 755 nm Alexandrite technology. Clinical studies of this laser treatment have shown strong improvement in facial and leg telangiectasias, with limited side effects. (Mordan et al.,2021)

The Motus AZ+ Difference
Why This Laser, Why the Face
When it comes to laser treatment for spider veins on the face, not all lasers are created equal. The face has thinner skin, more delicate vessels, and unique sensitivities compared to the legs, which means the technology needs to be calibrated accordingly.
The Motus AZ+ platform is designed specifically for this kind of precision work. It delivers targeted energy directly into the visible vessel, causing it to collapse and gradually be absorbed by the body. Compared to older laser systems or treatments designed primarily for the legs, this approach is gentler, more comfortable, and better suited to facial work.
A few key benefits of the Motus AZ+ for facial spider veins:
- •Non-invasive, with no needles, injections, or incisions
- •Comfortable for most clients without numbing
- •Minimal to no downtime, with most clients returning to normal activities right away
- •Safe across a wide range of skin types
- •Backed by peer-reviewed clinical research shows proven results of telangiectasias

What to Expect, Step by Step
The Treatment Process
From your first call to your final session, here's exactly what the process looks like at Glow Up.
01
Consultation
We'll start with a complimentary consultation where our team will examine your skin, assess the visible vessels, and confirm whether Motus AZ+ is the right fit for your specific case. We'll also walk you through expected sessions, results timeline, and pricing customized to your treatment plan.
02
Treatment Session
The treatment itself usually takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on the area and number of veins being treated. You'll wear protective eyewear, and we'll apply the laser handpiece directly to the affected area. Most clients describe the sensation as a series of brief snaps, similar to a rubber band against the skin. Most don't need numbing.
03
Recovery & Results
Downtime is usually minimal. You may notice some temporary redness or mild swelling at the treatment area, which typically resolves within hours. The treated veins will gradually fade over the following weeks as your body absorbs the collapsed vessel.
Is Motus AZ+ Right for You?
Candidacy
This treatment is best suited for small, superficial spider veins on the face. To save you time, here's an honest look at who's a good fit, and who isn't.
Good Candidates
This Treatment Is For
- •Fine red, blue, or purple lines on cheeks, nose, chin, or around the eyes
- •Broken capillaries from sun damage, rosacea, or aging
- •Small clusters of facial spider veins (telangiectasia)
- •Most skin types and tones
Not a Fit
This Treatment Isn't For

Results Timeline: What to Expect After Treatment
Real Expectations
Results from facial spider vein laser treatment are gradual rather than instant. Here's the typical progression we see at Glow Up Med Spa:
After your first session: Some veins may begin to look lighter within two to four weeks. Smaller, more superficial vessels often respond quickly.
After two to three sessions: Most clients see substantial reduction in visible spider veins. The exact number of sessions varies based on the size, number, and depth of the veins being treated.
Three to six months out: Peer-reviewed clinical data shows that laser treatment can reduce visible facial telangiectasia by more than 95% within this window for most patients.
Long-term maintenance: Once a vessel is successfully treated, it's gone for good. Your body absorbs it. However, laser treatment doesn't prevent new spider veins from forming, so periodic touch-ups may be helpful, especially with continued sun exposure or active rosacea.

Frequently Asked Questions
What to Know Before Booking
Does insurance cover laser treatment for facial spider veins?
Generally no. Spider vein treatment on the face is considered a cosmetic procedure, which means it's not typically covered by health insurance. We can walk you through pricing during your complimentary consultation and discuss any available payment options.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients need between two and four sessions for optimal results, though some smaller cases respond well to a single session. The exact number depends on the size, number, and depth of the veins being treated. We'll give you a clear estimate during your consultation.
Is the Motus AZ+ safe for my skin type?
The Motus AZ+ platform is designed to be safe across a wide range of skin types and tones. We'll review your skin type during consultation to confirm the right treatment settings for you.
Can I wear makeup or go in the sun after treatment?
You can typically resume normal activities immediately after treatment, including light makeup. We do recommend avoiding direct sun exposure on the treated area for at least 48 hours, and continuing to wear daily broad-spectrum SPF as part of your long-term skincare routine.
How soon will I see results?
Some lightening of treated veins typically begins within two to four weeks of your first session, with full results developing over the following weeks to months. Peer-reviewed clinical data shows substantial reduction at the three to six month mark.
Will the spider veins come back?
Veins that have been successfully treated by laser are permanent in the sense that the body absorbs the collapsed vessel. However, laser treatment doesn't prevent new spider veins from forming in the future, so periodic maintenance sessions may be helpful, especially if you spend significant time in the sun or have active rosacea.
