Facial Veins
Whether you’re a man or a woman, you may have noticed fine, little red veins on the nose, chin, or cheeks. These are telangiectasias or facial spider veins, and they appear on both men and women as a normal part of aging. They can also result from pregnancy, childbirth, birth control pills, estrogen-replacement therapy, sun damage, the skin condition called rosacea, or even corticosteroids. Although not usually a medical problem, telangiectasias can be an aesthetic one that make-up may not cover adequately.
In the past, there was little you could do about spider veins. But now laser technology has revolutionized treatment so that telangiectasias can be virtually erased.
Alamance Skin Center uses the Lumenis One laser apparatus that provides the most cutting edge treatments for facial veins. It has YAG laser capabilities as well as Vascular IPL (intense pulse light) capabilities to best customize each patient’s treatment for facial veins.
