Spider veins are a normal part of life. While you can effortlessly hide spider veins on your legs and thighs, the ones that appear right on your face are not so easily covered up. Facial spider veins often cause people to feel self-conscious about their appearance. However, there’s no need to feel embarrassed about them anymore – facial spider veins are easily treatable.
About Facial Spider Veins
Spider veins are the result of broken blood vessels (capillaries), primarily in the areas around your nose and under your eyes. There are many causes of spider veins, each of them resulting in a weakening of the capillary walls which causes the vessels to burst. This creates the bluish lines we call spider veins. Age, inflammation from obesity or high blood pressure, skin disease such as eczema, and even just too much stress and strain or washing your face too hard can result in spider veins.
While these visible veins are completely harmless to your health, they can cause pain, itching and burning around the area. This typically only happens when spider veins occur on the legs. When they occur on your face, they are most likely to be purely a cosmetic concern. Around half of all American women with visible spider veins opt for some sort of treatment or cover up makeup.
Lasers are the Perfect Treatment for Spider Vein Removal on the Face
Laser treatment is one of the most effective treatment methods for facial spider veins. Since spider veins are so small compared to varicose veins, and are located just beneath the skin, they are easily targeted by a laser. Using lasers allows us to close off the ruptured vein from its previous blood flow, so the vein is broken down and eliminated by the body. The treatment works best on pale skin with very bright colored veins, but it is effective on all skin tones.
