Facial Veins

Unsightly facial veins are a common source of insecurity and embarrassment. We see these bothersome veins every time we look in the mirror or at photos of ourselves, and over time become more self-conscious of how they look. Most of our patients who are seeking help with facial vein treatment are dealing with one of the common problems: spider veins. These types of facial veins can become more prominent due to aging, genetics and other lifestyle factors. Fortunately, the team at Siragusa Vein and Laser has the experience and expertise to quickly treat these facial veins with little to no downtime.

Spider Veins

Spider veins and redness are best treated with a laser procedure called BroadBand Light or, which is ideal for smaller spider veins. Using BBL laser technology, we deliver precise wavelengths of light that are absorbed by the blood vessels causing them to safely dissolve. Blood flow is then directed back into the normal veins below the skin’s surface.

Periorbital Veins

The treatment of periorbital veins depends primarily on the size of the veins. Smaller veins around the eye are generally treated with a laser, while larger veins typically respond most favorably to foam sclerotherapy. Both options may require 2-3 treatments for best results.
