How can I get rid of spider veins that I have got all over my nose n cheeks ....can that be treated?
Dear Shama ji,
Yes, spider veins (also called facial telangiectasia) on the nose and cheeks are treatable. These are small, dilated blood vessels that appear close to the surface of the skin and are commonly caused by sun damage, genetics, rosacea, or hormonal changes.
Treatment options available include:
-
Laser Therapy (ND: YAG / IPL):
-
The most effective and commonly used treatment for spider veins
-
Targets and collapses the visible veins without damaging the nearby skin
-
Requires multiple sessions for best results
-
-
Electrosurgery / Radiofrequency (RF):
-
Uses heat to close off the small vessels
-
Can be effective for smaller or stubborn veins
-
-
Topical care and sun protection:
-
SPF use daily is important to prevent further damage
-
Dermatologists may recommend creams to support skin healing and reduce redness
-
Next Step:
We recommend that you consult a dermatologist or cosmetic skin specialist who can assess your skin and suggest the best option for you based on the severity and skin type.
