Vein Treatment

Facial veins range in size from very fine, red and purple veins to larger blue-green veins.  The smaller veins are typically seen on the nose, chin and cheeks.  They are commonly due to rosacea and sun damage.

The larger veins are more commonly seen on the temples and at the edge of the jaw. They can also make circles under the eyes appear dark.

Typically, none of these veins cause pain and are usually treated for cosmetic reasons.

We can treat these blood vessels with laser and light cautery.  We sometimes refer patients to our Skin & Laser Center when more intense laser treatment is required.
