Spider veins on the face, or telangiectases, are best treated with a laser. In general, I try to stay away from sclerotherapy on the facial areas due to the risk of complications. Telangiectases on the face are relatively uniform in size and depth and lasers can effectively eliminate these. My favorite is Pulsed Dye Laser, which is a 595nm laser that targets the blood in the blood vessels. Other lasers include KTP (better for smaller vessels), the Diode (best for larger vessels). You may have some temporary bruising to the area that last 1 week and will likely require several treatments.
