Spider Veins

Reduce the appearance of visible veins and broken capillaries for clearer-looking skin
Spider Veins

Spider veins are small, visible blood vessels that can appear as red, purple or web-like lines beneath the skin. On the face, they often appear around the nose and cheeks as broken capillaries or small visible vessels that can contribute to an uneven or persistently flushed appearance.

Spider veins and visible vessels may become more noticeable over time due to genetics, aging, sun exposure and other changes in the skin. At Confident Med Spa, we offer personalized consultations to determine whether Laser Facial or another aesthetic treatment may help improve the appearance of your vascular concerns.

Treatment options are available throughout New Hampshire and Maine at our Amherst, Epping, Rochester, Seabrook, Windham and South Portland locations.

Common Symptoms

Common vascular concerns include small red, purple or blue vessels visible beneath the skin, broken capillaries around the nose or cheeks, web-like clusters of vessels, localized facial redness and areas of skin that appear persistently flushed or uneven.

Our Approach

Not all visible veins are the same, so treatment begins by evaluating the size, location and appearance of the vessels. Small facial vessels and broken capillaries require a different approach than larger or symptomatic veins elsewhere on the body. For appropriate facial vascular concerns, Laser Facial may be recommended to target visible vessels and surrounding redness. Light energy is directed toward the vascular concern while minimizing impact to the surrounding skin, helping the treated vessels become less noticeable over time. Your provider will determine whether your concern is appropriate for aesthetic treatment. Larger veins or veins associated with pain, swelling or other symptoms may require evaluation by a medical provider specializing in vascular conditions.

Recommended Treatments

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes spider veins and broken capillaries?

Visible vessels can develop for several reasons, including genetics, aging, sun exposure and changes in the skin. Facial capillaries can be especially noticeable around the nose and cheeks.

Can laser treatments help spider veins on the face?

Certain laser and light-based treatments can help reduce the appearance of small facial vessels and broken capillaries. Your provider will evaluate the vessels to determine whether they are appropriate for treatment.

How many treatments are needed for visible facial veins?

The number of treatments varies depending on the size, number and location of the vessels. Some concerns may improve after a small number of sessions, while others may require a series.

Can spider veins come back after treatment?

Treated vessels may become significantly less noticeable, but new visible vessels can develop over time. Genetics, aging, sun exposure and other factors can contribute to the formation of additional vessels.

No. Aesthetic treatments are generally intended for appropriate cosmetic vascular concerns. Larger veins or veins associated with pain, swelling, warmth or other symptoms should be evaluated by an appropriate medical provider.
