In treating veins for the bridge of your nose you should keep in mind that nasal veins are often most easily, safely and successfully done with a pulsed dye laser.
Sclerotherapy can be done in this area and I recommend a smaller dose with repeat injections. Alternatively, if it is large enough (picture needed to determine or physical exam to confirm), it may be best to do a microphlebectomy or RF ablation.
Sclerotherapy can be done safely for facial veins depending on the size of the veins and their location and the experience of the physician doing the injections.
