Small visible blood vessels can appear on the cheeks, chin, and nose. These facial spider veins may look red or blue and are one type of vascular lesion.
Sun exposure can contribute to their development. Hereditary, environmental, and hormonal factors may also play a role.
A physician’s evaluation can help identify what is causing the visible vessels or redness and which care may be appropriate for your skin.
Your evaluation comes first. Bring your questions about visible vessels, skin sensitivity, and previous treatments to your appointment.
Gitter Vein Institute offers VeinGogh, also called ohmic thermolysis, for small visible vessels. Your physician will discuss whether it fits the veins you want to address.
