Some : Some clinics and spas have extended their photofacial services to include body treatments. Photofacials entail applying a series of intense light to the skin which is absorbed by the skin the light produces heat which is then absorbed by the skin and breaks down vessels or lesions and promotes natural healing. Overtime these treatments can reduce the appearance of rosacea, hyperpigmentation, flushing, dark spots, under eye circles and other blemished skin. Photofacial for face and body are not typically a solution for varicose veins. However there are minimally invase treatments available for varicose veins such as sclerotherapy, and endovenous laser treatment.

Yes: For hyper pigmentation. Never for varicose veins. If it is spider veins then sclero is a better option.

Yes: This treatment is generally very effective for hyperpigmentation of the skin and does not discriminate with regard to where on your body that may be.
