Facial Vein Treatment

“The tendency to develop spider veins on the face, also known as telangiectasias, is often hereditary,” explains Dr. Roper. “Other risk factors include unprotected exposure to sun and extreme weather conditions. Facial veins are especially common in individuals with a condition known as rosacea. Not necessarily related to aging, facial veins can appear at any age – even children can be affected. Whatever the cause, the appearance of enlarged veins on your face can be discouraging.”

The good news: Facial veins can be treated with advanced technology using several laser systems designed specifically to erase facial veins. And only our physician, Dr. Roper, performs these treatments.

“The Gentle Yag 1064 laser and the Iridex KTP 532, is an excellent treatment for my patients with facial veins, requiring no preparation and minimal post-treatment care,” states Dr. Roper. “It emits a continuous wave light which passes through a crystal and is selectively absorbed by the deep red hue of the hemoglobin inside the vein, sealing the vein without bruising.”

“Patients can come into my office, have this treatment done, and go back to work or go shopping. Also this can be combined with the Candela V-beam laser to remove background erythema for patients with rosacea, and the Candela GentleYag laser for the deeper blue veins on the face and veins in hard to treat areas. I usually recommend at least 2 treatments for best results.”
