Small blue vein near nose bridge - is it treatable with laser? (photos)

Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Hello! This looks to me like it is a branch of the dorsal nasal artery or vein, and it is a part of the normal anatomy of your face. In my experience, IPL or vascular lasers do not work great for vessels of this size, but would not necessarily be dangerous to try. I would definitely NOT recommend attempting any type of sclerosant or injection to this area, as the vessels around the nose can connect to vessels in your eyes, and this would put you at risk for injury to the tissues of the nose or the eye or even blindness.
