Question

I have these tiny broken capillaries in my face that are really that big, do you think this will disappear overtime? they look like the ones in the picture?

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

It’s important to distinguish between varicose veins and spider veins when choosing between laser therapy, sclerotherapy, and vein surgery. With two board certified vein specialists, our center uses a combination of visual examination, functional flow measurements, ultrasound, transillumination, and infrared light to map out vein networks prior to therapy. Lasers can be used to treat deep varicose vein insufficiency, vein perforators, and varicose veins. Sclerotherapy is ideal for spider veins and reticular veins. Whereas surgery is reserved for severely incompetent varicose vein segments.

It is not likely that they will spontaneously regress or go away on their own.I agree with thermolysis for this (VeinGogh).Hratch L Karamanoukian MD FACScertified vein specialist

Appears to be spider veins or telangiectasis and will unlikely not go away spontaneously. Ohmic thermolysis would be my choice of treatment rather than sclerotherapy involving the injection of a medication into the 'head' area.

Ivan Brooks, MD · Answer

Unfortunately these are called telangiectasis.  These vein don't go away on their own.  Treatments for facial telangiectasia include laser or ohmic therapy.  Each one should be done by a specialist and may require multiple treatments to get the desired results.

Craig Schwartz, DO · Answer

Unfortunately not. These are spider veins, and they will not simply go away without treatment. The good news is that there are very good options for resolving facial spider veins, using laser or devices like VeinGogh. Treatment is quick, easy, very effective, and there is no downtime, and very little discomfort. However, depending on the size and number of your veins, it may require multiple treatment sessions. You should be seen by an experienced vein specialist, who has multiple treatment options available to offer.
