Having a GP or Dermatologist assess the cheeks and face veins would help with this. This may be rosacea with many treatment options: reducing triggers (sun spicy-foods), laser light, brimonidine, topical metronidazole. With the right diagnosis and treatment, the cheeks and face can return to their healthy state. https://www.health.harvard.edu/womens-health/rosacea-can-flare-at-menopause
