I know cautery is an outdated way to treat small facial broken capillaries and now lasers are recommended . This makes no sense--cautery is cheaper, less painful, and most of all does not leave any nasty bruises, like laser treatment does. The bruising from both vbeam and pulse-dyed laser treatment is so terrible, I cannot understand why cautery is not offered. Laser seems much more traumatic to the skin, and requires more sessions, whereas cautery has always worked for me after one session.

Answer: Lasers for facial blushing and spider veins
There are creams that keep veins healthy and I recommend Omega Vein Cream. However, the creams DO NOT take away veins, they promote healthy vein valves. I also recommend citrus bioflavonoids and Diosmin and the formula I recommend as an oral supplement is Varicosamin.
Some studies show that smoking can reduce the microcirculation and it is best to avoid after surgery.Hratch L Karamanoukian MD FACS

This requires microphlebectomy as it large sized. Two or three tiny puncture wounds and no down time except bruising.
This is cosmetic and will cost 3500 - 4000 USD.
