I had 4 IPL (with Starlux) treatments on my nose for spider veins, with no results. What laser would you recommend to get rid of these spider veins on the nose? Thank you.
Answer: Spider veins on your nose Cutera's Limelight with a combination of XEO Coolglide will absolutely improve and take away these broken capillaries that are so common. The treatment takes only a few minutes. There is no real downtime except for mild redness that lasts only a couple hours. Most patients with broken capillaries around the nose will usually have a few more on the cheeks or chin, and can be treated at the same. Also, most people don't realize that those annoying "red moles" or angiomas can be treated wtih the same laser.

Answer: Laser Treatments for Spider Veins on the Nose In addition to IPL treatment, there are several lasers which may work to address blood vessels on the face. For example, the V-Beam pulsed dye laser and Alexandrite lasers can treat spider veins. Each laser device has a different wavelength, platform and delivery method. The best course of treatment can be determined after an in person consultation. The Cutera XLV Laser also has a 532 nm wavelength that is very helpful with facial spider veins. Keep in mind that nasal blood vessels are among the most difficult to successfully treat, as the tendency of the nose to flush contributes to re-opening these vessels. Also, one should avoid overly-vigorous treatment as there is a risk of leaving a linear indentation that is harder to cover than the vein. Treatment methods can vary based on the nature of the spider veins, skin tone, and other factors that can affect the treatment.

Answer: Spider veins on the face are challenging problems There is a myriad of laser systems that are effective in treating spider veins on the face. If they are too large for laser therapy, then a phlebologist, vein specialist, can make tiny puncture wounds and remove them. Caution should be exercised in certain parts of the face when sclerosant solutions are injected for risk of embolization injury and damage to neural structures and vision. Consult a dermatologist with experience in this area or a phlebologist for optimal care.
