Sclero or laser: As we age, the skin thins out and we can see veins on our face, hands, chest. They can be aggravated or enlarged with dilation of the vessel with weightlifting, heat, etc....But mostly genetics. Injection sclerotherapy can treat these areas to decrease the size, therefore reduce the appearance. The veins to tiny sor sclerotherapy can be treated with laser. See a vein specialist: www.Phlebology.Org.

Laser most common: The most common treatment for facial veins is laser treatment. Alternatives are sclerotherapy (needs to be done by an experienced physician) or various forms of cautery. Common lasers used for facial veins include intense pulsed light, pulsed dye laser, 532 nm, 940 nm and others. The choice of treatment depends on your skin type, size of vein to be treated, depth of vein to be treated, & location.
