Facial Vein Removal
Small spider veins on the nose or other areas of the face can cause redness in the skin. Though harmless, they can become a cosmetic nuisance. These unwanted veins can be treated with our laser technology.
The majority of red or purple surface veins can be reduced or eliminated by laser therapy with little or no discomfort. During treatment, the laser “zaps” the vein it is targeting, causing the blood that has pooled there to heat up, resulting in the depletion of the vein.
You will see improvements after one visit, but up to 3 visits may be required to achieve desired results. Treatments are recommended at 6 to 8-week intervals.
Sclerotherapy for Spider Veins
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that effectively treats varicose and spider veins. It's often considered the treatment of choice for small varicose veins.
Varicose veins appear as swollen and bulging veins, usually in the legs. As the vein valves weaken or get damaged, blood pools up in the veins, causing them to swell. Varicose veins are painful and can lead to serious health issues if left untreated. By shrinking the veins, sclerotherapy can reduce the effect of vein damage, making them less visible and painful.
Spider veins are web-like veins. Spider veins are more of a cosmetic issue than a physical health issue.
The physician uses a very fine needle to inject the salt solution directly into the vein. The solution irritates the lining of the blood vessel and causes it to collapse, sticking together. The procedure is completed within 15 to 30 minutes.
Over time, the vessel turns into scar tissue and fades away. Depending on the size and location of the treated veins, the number of veins injected in one session will vary.
Up to 80% of treated veins will be eliminated with each sclerotherapy session. Several sessions are sometimes required to eliminate the majority of veins.

Facial skin is thinner and sensitive so there’s a higher risk of scarring if the vein treatment isn’t done correctly. It’s highly recommended that you consult vein doctors who are highly specialized in vein treatments before your procedure. The board-certified doctor will analyze your skin and decide if sclerotherapy is the best option for you.
Regardless of the spider vein options you choose, it’s very important to make sure that your vein doctor is experienced and highly trained in treating facial veins.
