What is best treatment? Recovery time? How do I find best dermatologist for this in Orange County, CA? Thank you.
Answer: Choosing between different varicose vein and spider vein treatments 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.

Answer: Treatment of spider veins on the face and legs Spider veins can easily be removed with laser treatment. The Cutera ExcelV is the machine we use in our office. The laser energy will target the red blood cells in the vein and once the laser hits the red blood cells, they burst, striking the wall of the vessel and collapses them. You will have some redness and mild swelling for a few hours to a day, depending on your skin's sensitivity, which can easily be covered by makeup.

Answer: Facial Spider Veins Thanks for the question and posting pictures. There are several causes of broken capillaries. As we age, there are changes in the collagen of both the skin and the small capillaries, which may cause them to weaken and become more visible. Depending your skin type, we would probably recommend a series of IPL PhotoFacials to lessen their appearance. If they are difficult to reach with the IPL handpiece, we sometime cauterize them with an electronic surgical needle. Best of luck.

Answer: Nasal vessels Those little vessels around the nose can easily be treated with a KTP-YAG laser. This laser works very well for any facial spider capillaries an the face and usually they can be treated with one to three treatments. Sometimes those nasal vessels are stubborn and every once in a while we will have to use the ND-YAG to eliminate them.
