RF or sclerotherapy: Radiofrequency microcurrent delivered via thin wire touching the red facial veins causes heat, closing them nicely. Sclerotherapy injections work also for larger veins. The tiny blush veins of rosacea respond well to intense pulsed light treatments due to the larger area of involvement and the larger footprint of these devices.

Light vein therapy: Intense pulsed light (photofacial) can close tiny red facial veins. Multiple sessions are needed. See a physician first to rule out rosacea. It also responds, but additional recommendations are helpful. Use adequate sunscreen to reduce sun damage (veins) on the face. Other methods are radiofrequency needle or sclerotherapy injections.
