Facial Veins

Facial veins are often referred to as small spider veins, broken blood vessels, broken capillaries, rosacea veins or facial telangectasia. Facial veins can be unsightly and can appear like:

• Tiny red threads on the nose and/or cheek area
• Large bluish veins around temples, eye area or the nasolabial fold or “smile lines”

Treatment of face veins will depend on the diameter and location; each case is individually evaluated and then sclerotherapy can be performed. Large blue veins respond very well to sclerotherapy. Advances in sclerotherapy such as better magnification, polarizing lenses and tinier needles allows the injection of even the smaller facial veins with very little impact to the surrounding tissues.
