I have these little red vines all over my face. I was wondering if there is a treatment to get ride of them? And keep them from coming back?
Answer: Treatment for Veins on the Face. Thank you beth84 for your question. I would suggest an in person consultation. Based on your history and photograph, you may have other medical conditions. Once these medical conditions are eliminated the area that you have described might have to be treated with topical cream or lasers. It is difficult to give a accurate diagnosis without an in-office examination. Please seek a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist. If you have any questions feel free to contact my office. Good luck. Sincerely, J. Timothy Katzen, M.D.

Answer: Thread Veins - Vascular Laser Hi Beth, These little red veins that appear on your cheek are called thread veins. Thread veins are actually very tiny blood vessels that run close to the surface of the skin and look like fine wiggly lines. The medical term for them is telangiectasia. I would recommend that you look into vascular laser, which is a highly effective minimally invasive treatment. Laser light penetrates the outer layers of skin reaching the blood vessels below. Targeted blood vessels soak up all of the energy in the beam and are destroyed by the brief but intense heat. The body removes the damaged tissue naturally. Hope this helps and good luck!

Answer: Red Veins on face That is an excellent question. You are not alone. Facial veins are very common. There are a number of lasers which can be used. IPL/intensed pulse light, pulsed dye laser, 532/KTP or a YAG laser can be used. It's more important to find someone who's experienced with lasers. Rather than someone that has a particular laser. You can get great results with all of the lasers. It's just important to find someone that's good. I would recommend seeing a board-certified dermatologist.Wish you the best.Dr. Daniel Radin, Dermatologist, Windsor, ON, Canada.
