Treatment of spider veins on the face

Bryan K. Chen, MD answers: Spider veins on face

does sclerotherapy also get used to remove spider veins appearing on the face?

Injection sclerotherapy should not be used for facial spider veins due to the risk of blindness.  The vascular lasers including the pulsed-dye, Nd:YAG and IPL or hyfrecation for small telangiectasias are reasonable approaches, frequently requiring more than a single treatment session to achieve the desired results.

Good luck.,
