Facial Spider Veins

Veins on the face can be safely and effectively treated with either lasers or electrocautery. These procedures are only mildly uncomfortable and take just seconds. Small scabs form which fall off within a few days.

Both lasers and electrocautery produce immediate improvement once the scabs have healed. In most cases only one treatment is necessary. Today’s new medical lasers provide a safe and effective method for the removal of spider veins. A precise dose of light energy is delivered to the targeted veins in a series of brief pulses. The light energy is converted to heat within the blood vessels but not the surrounding tissue. This causes the blood vessels to coagulate and become absorbed by your body.

Laser treatments are especially effective for facial spider veins and leg veins that are too small for sclerotherapy treatment.
