Facial Veins

Spider veins on the face are something you see on many people and this is often a cause of great embarrassment.
They are placed prominently on the face, around the nose or cheeks and can cause great anxiety since they are not easy to hide.

What are facial veins :
Facial spider veins are tiny blood vessels which run close to the surface of the skin and look like fine red, or sometimes purple, wiggly lines.
They are sometimes called 'thread veins' or 'broken veins'  The tiny veins just under the surface of the skin are delicate.
Sometimes these veins dilate and break, the veins will remain that way and won't constrict back to their normal thickness or repair themselves.
While spider veins do occur on the legs, a great number of them also happen on the face, around the nose, cheeks, and chin.

Who gets facial veins :
Anyone can get facial spider veins.
Ageing cause the weakening of veins and skin, and the ageing skin can make spider veins more noticeable.

What causes facial veins :
Facial spider veins can become more prominent as we get older, but there are actually six main triggers that can provoke them at any age.
These are: pregnancy, chronic sun exposure, temperature extremes, excess alcohol, facial injuries and high blood pressure.
Also scrubbing your face too vigorously or washing with water that's too hot can also cause facial veins.
Age, lifestyle, rosacea and smoking can also play their part.

How do you treat facial veins :
Selston Cosmetic Clinic has state-of-the-art Laserscope Aura-i and Lyra-i laser systems to safely and painlessly treat facial spider veins.

The safest, most effective treatment for spider veins on the face is laser treatment. A laser is applied to the skin directly above the spider veins and the energy from the laser is preferentially absorbed by coloured tissues, such as spider veins.
The energy causes the spider veins to heat up and collapse. After treatment, the body slowly re-absorbs the veins.

Laser treatment takes only 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area to be treated and recovery on most people takes no time at all.
The skin over the treated area might be mildly sensitive for a few days after treatment.

The appearance of spider veins will greatly improve after just one treatment. However, to fully remove spider veins most people will need two or three sessions.
Repeat treatments are scheduled a month apart and after the treated veins disappear, they will not reoccur.
