Telangiectasia, also known as spider veins, are small, dilated blood vessels that can appear on the skin. There are multiple effective treatments.  They include Vein Gogh,  IPL , Sclerotherapy,  and Lasers .  The easier for a signle vein would be Vein Gogh which is RF electrocautery.

Hello
KasK, thank you for your question. It appears from your picture that you have a
cherry angioma. These are benign blood vessel tumors. Usually, these can be
treated with a laser. Patients will come to my office and in a single treatment
they can have this removed and it does not even require anesthetic. In my office,
I have treated patients with cherry angioma with 1 treatment 99% of the time.
The laser you would want to use is Nd:YAG laser.

If you
have any questions feel free to contact my office. Good luck.

Sincerely,

J.
Timothy Katzen, M.D.

Based on the photo, it appears that you have a benign vascular growth called an angioma. This can be treated with either a vascular laser, pulsed dye or KTP 532 laser, or a small hyfercator which uses electrical energy to remove the lesion. Since the lesion is quite small you should get a very nice treatment result. I do recommend a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon for consultation. Best wishes.

The V-Beam laser is the ideal way to treat broken capillaries on your nose and face. The V-Beam is the gold standard to treat anything red on the skin. For the best cosmetic results please consult a board certified dermatologist for treatment.
