Tiny red dot on my face, definitely not a spot, very sharp and clear, maybe blood vessel? (photo)

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.

Yes, there are many methods to remove that red spot.  Consult with your cosmetic dermatologist for different options that may include laser therapy or a hyfrecator (electric needle) to remove the spot.  It should be easy enough to remove it.  Good luck!
