What is the downtime and price for such a procedure? Are repeated procedures necessary? What may cause these blood vessels to appear? I have a brown mexican skin tone.
Answer: Spider Veins on the Nose Hi Bestrest. The best treatment we have for this issue is a long pulsed yag laser. In contrast to what Dr. Emer has stated, the only time you get "divots or holes" would be if the treatment were not done well. A yag laser is a very safe laser and easily produces the results shown at the link below for nose veins.We actually prefer it to hyfrecation because in cauterization (hyfrecation) you will cause scabbing and potentially indented scarring if the treatment is too aggressive. Just as with lasers, user experience is key to proper outcomes but lasers, because they do not ablate (materially change) the surface of the skin offer a safer solution for the removal of spider veins.One issue of concern is that you are looking for "permanent" results. Permanent removal of these small veins is not possible. They always come back, but the question is how long in between treatments. We hope they stay away for a prolonged period, but every patient is different and with vascular lesions like these, you can expect them to return at some point.

Answer: Blood Vessels in Nose There are many treatment options for this, I would avoid long pulsed YAGs as the heat can cause divits or holes. The best treatment is pulsed dye laser or excel V laser. Some treatments such as hyfrecation or dessication needle work well. The most important thing is that you see a physician with experience for treatment and who is well trained in lasers. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: How do you treat telangiectasias on the nares (nose) ? Buffalo Niagara, NY You used the word 'permanently' and there is no such treatment.It is likely that you will develop similar veins elsewhere on your face or recurrence of such telangiectasias in the future. Treatment does not guarantee that you will not develop new telangiectasias in the future. The pictures you provide are very helpful. What you have are called telangiectasias (< 1 mm in size) on the nares. They can be treated with thermocoagulation, topical lasers. They are too small to be injected with sclerotherapy.These are cosmetic and not covered by insurance.You may well need more than 1 session of treatment as these areas of the nose are highly vascularized and these veins are quite stubborn to treat,

Answer: Safe and Effective Treatment The most safe and effective way to treat nasal telangiectasias is with a pulsed-dye laser. Depending on the size of the vessels and the degree of bruising you are OK with having, you may require 1-3 or 4 treatments, each spaced about 2 months apart. Nasal telangiectasias do tend to re-grow, however, so most individuals require a "touch-up" laser treatment every 2-5 years, to maintain the skin telangiectasia-free.
