Laser Treatment for Spider Veins on 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.

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.
