Spider nevus is the name given to small angiomata which appear on the surface of the skin. They are small benign lesions with a number of tiny blood vessels radiating from them to resemble the legs of a spider. The centre is about 1mm in diameter and the whole lesion about 5 to 10mm across. Lesions most frequently occur on the face, below the eyes, and over the cheekbones. They are only a cosmetic problem and can be difficult to cover up.

Spider Nevus are relatively easy to remove and are successfully treated using IPL. Often one session is all that is required to remove them permanently.
