Can Chemical Peel Cause Spider Veins to Appear?

March 22, 2009
Asked By:nadszie in london, uk

I already have a few. I would like to know if a facial chemical peel can cause spider veins to appear? I am already prone to getting them around the nose area. I want to have a chemical peel but I'm quite worried that this may trigger them to appear on my face. My doctor and derm are quite useless when it comes to information. They said they have no idea.
