Visible
veins on the face can be caused by a number of factors. They may be broken
capillaries, which can result from sun exposure, overly aggressive scrubbing when
you wash your face, hot water, facial injuries and more. Short of
micro-sclerotherapy, there is not much to do for visible facial veins except
invest in a good concealer. However, if you notice that things like alcohol or
spicy foods cause the veins to become visible, you should avoid them. Since you
mentioned that the veins tend to flare up when you’re depressed, stay hydrated
and practice relaxation techniques when you become anxious. It may simply be
caused by high blood pressure when you’re stressed.

There are many causes of facial veins including genetics, sun exposure, aging, hormones and even stress. Levels of hydration can also affect facial veins as well as positional changes. There are treatments for facial veins depending on their size and location.

Thank you for your question.Sun damage to the skin is the most common culprit or the natural aging process where the skin thins out and makes it more vulnerable to these. Genetics also plays a role. These are usually benign and occur without additional medical problems.Best,Dr. Karamanoukian
