There is a small vein coming out from my left nostril. I would like to know what it is and how I can get rid of it.

It’s important to distinguish between varicose veins and spider veins when choosing between laser therapy, sclerotherapy, and vein surgery. With two board certified vein specialists, our center uses a combination of visual examination, functional flow measurements, ultrasound, transillumination, and infrared light to map out vein networks prior to therapy. Lasers can be used to treat deep varicose vein insufficiency, vein perforators, and varicose veins. Sclerotherapy is ideal for spider veins and reticular veins. Whereas surgery is reserved for severely incompetent varicose vein segments.

I have treated several patients with excellent results using the excel V laser- I would highly recommend a vascular laser like that one- 1-2 treatments should clear the vein and restore your appearance. 

Nasal veins can be treated by several methods including topical laser, IPL, sclerotherapy and RF.  The method of treatment depends on the size of the vein, its location and the experience of the person treating it.

The treatment that we recommend for our patients with veins on your area of concern would be to use laser therapy. Specifically we recommend the Cutera Excel V laser.Treating facial area with laser requires a highly skilled provider. It is very important that you are evaluated by a board certified physician prior to any treatment(s) to be certain this is really a vein and not something else.Thank you for your question!
