Laser Treatment is a Safe, Effective Answer to Facial Varicose Veins

Varicose veins can occur any place on the body, but commonly appear on the face. Varicose veins on the face are also known as spider veins due to their resemblance to a spider’s web. These dilated red, purple, or blue capillaries that are often found around the eyes, cheeks, chin, or neck, are visible because of their proximity to the surface of the skin.

These unsightly varicose veins on the face, while typically a cosmetic problem, may also be a symptom of the body’s overall health, as they are actually injured veins or capillaries. Pressure from long-term inflammation, obesity, or high blood pressure can cause damage to vessel walls. However, simply rubbing or washing the skin too roughly may also be the cause of broken capillaries, especially around the delicate eye areas.

Aging can also be a factor in the development of facial spider veins due to weakened veins and skin. In addition, too much sun exposure, certain skin diseases, smoking, exposure to pollutants or toxins, stress, insomnia, or a lack of physical activity can also be contributing factors.

It is estimated that at some point, approximately 55% of the population will be affected by varicose veins on the face and once facial spider veins appear, they typically require treatment in order to disappear. A varicose vein specialist can help treat these facial veins through two highly effective laser treatments for varicose veins.

Because no scalpels or sutures are utilized with laser vein removal, there are no long-lasting scars or keloids. There’s minimal discomfort, and most treatments are characterized as being virtually painless. With this modern therapy, most people can resume their daily activities immediately after treatment.
