Thank you for your question. I will not treat veins on the nose if a tan is present, and wait until fall or winter to treat them.  I like using a V-Beam Perfecta to do this.  Usually 3-4 treatments are needed for resolution to be present for 6-12 months. I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. We typically stick to treating veins on the legs and nose, some on the face.  The trunk I only treat angiomas and small red telangiectasias. I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. The skin is more sun sensitive and may burn or discolor. I hope this helps.
