As we age, we may notice the appearance of fine, dilated small veins on the nose, chin, or cheeks. These veins, called facial spider veins or "telangiectasias" may affect both women and men, not only as a result of normal aging but also because of the effect of some medications, skin infections, prolonged sun exposure and hormonal changes during pregnancy, menopause treatments, etc.
Facial dilated veins are mainly a cosmetic problem that has been treated over the years with often disappointing results. At present, thanks to advanced research in the application of medical lasers, these dilated facial vessels can be treated in a few short sessions, with very satisfactory results.
How do laser treatments work?
As with the application of laser energy in the treatment of dilated leg veins, in the face we use laser devices that are designed to concentrate their energy under the skin, erasing small dilated vessels without pain and without affecting surrounding tissues.
