Facial Veins Treatment Overview

Facial veins, also known as spider veins, broken capillaries, or telangiectasia, are small, dilated blood vessels that become visible on the surface of the skin. These red, blue, or purple veins commonly appear on the cheeks, nose, and chin, often contributing to an uneven complexion and persistent redness. While harmless, these visible veins can make the skin appear aged or irritated and may worsen over time.

At Image Clinic, we offer advanced laser and light-based therapies designed to safely and effectively eliminate facial veins, restoring clearer, more even-toned skin. Our treatments target and collapse the broken vessels beneath the skin’s surface, allowing the body to naturally eliminate them over time.

This non-invasive, precise treatment is ideal for individuals struggling with spider veins, broken capillaries, rosacea-related redness, or vascular lesions. Whether caused by genetics, sun damage, hormonal changes, or aging, our customized approach ensures safe and long-lasting results without the need for surgery or extended downtime.

What To Expect

✔ Personalized Consultation & Skin Evaluation – Before treatment, our specialists analyze your skin type, vascular concerns, and overall skin health to create the best customized treatment plan.

✔ Gentle & Precise Treatment – Using state-of-the-art laser technology or Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), targeted energy is delivered to the visible veins, causing them to break down and gradually fade away.

✔ Mild Sensation with No Downtime – Most clients describe the sensation as a mild warming or snapping feeling, similar to a rubber band lightly flicking the skin. Treatments are quick, effective, and non-invasive, with minimal discomfort.

✔ Progressive Improvement – While some veins disappear immediately, others fade over several weeks as the body naturally clears the treated vessels.

✔ Long-Lasting Results – With proper skincare and sun protection, results can be long-term, though occasional maintenance treatments may be recommended for optimal clarity.

How To Prepare

✔ Avoid Sun Exposure – Sunburned or tanned skin can increase sensitivity, so avoid direct sun exposure for at least two weeks before treatment.

✔ Discontinue Blood-Thinning Medications – If possible, refrain from taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or supplements like fish oil a few days prior to treatment to minimize bruising.

✔ Stay Hydrated – Keeping the skin moisturized and hydrated can enhance treatment effectiveness and promote faster healing.

✔ Skip Harsh Skincare Products – Avoid using retinoids, exfoliants, or active acids on the treatment area at least 48 hours prior to your session.

✔ Come with a Clean Face – Remove all makeup, lotions, and sunscreen before your appointment for better laser penetration and results.

Aftercare

✔ Apply Cold Compresses if Needed – Some clients experience mild redness or swelling, which typically resolves within a few hours. Applying a cool compress can help soothe the skin.

✔ Avoid Direct Sunlight – Protecting your skin from UV exposure is crucial. Always wear SPF 30+ sunscreen to maintain results and prevent future broken capillaries.

✔ Skip Hot Environments for 48 Hours – Avoid hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and strenuous exercise for a couple of days post-treatment to prevent additional irritation.

✔ Use Gentle Skincare Products – Stick to soothing, fragrance-free products that won’t aggravate sensitive skin. Avoid scrubbing, exfoliating, or using harsh chemicals for a few days.

✔ Multiple Treatments May Be Required – While some facial veins disappear after one session, others may require 2-3 treatments for optimal clearance.

Key Benefits of Facial Veins Treatment

Non-Invasive & Quick with No Downtime

Unlike surgical procedures, this treatment is completely non-invasive, with minimal discomfort and zero downtime. Clients can return to work or daily activities immediately after treatment.

Effectively Reduces Spider Veins & Broken Capillaries

Laser and IPL treatments target and collapse visible veins, reducing redness and clearing the skin’s complexion without harming surrounding tissues.

Long-Lasting Results with Minimal Maintenance

Once treated, the broken capillaries do not return, though lifestyle factors such as sun exposure, aging, and genetics may lead to new vein formation over time. Occasional touch-ups help maintain flawless skin.

Improves Overall Skin Tone & Texture

Eliminating facial veins reduces redness, evens out skin tone, and restores a more youthful, radiant appearance. Many clients report their skin feeling smoother and healthier post-treatment.

Safe for All Skin Types

Modern laser and IPL technology make this treatment safe for most skin tones, providing customized solutions for individual concerns.

FAQ's

Have questions? We have the answers! Explore our FAQ section to find everything you need to know.

How many sessions are required to remove facial veins?

Most clients see significant improvement after one session, but depending on the severity and size of the veins, 2-3 treatments may be needed for optimal clearance. Our specialists will determine the best treatment plan based on your unique skin needs.

Is the treatment painful?

The procedure is well-tolerated, with most clients describing a mild warmth or tingling sensation. Some may feel a quick snapping feeling, but it is far less uncomfortable than traditional vein treatments.

How long do results last?

Once treated, the facial veins will fade permanently, but new veins may develop due to sun exposure, hormonal changes, or genetics. Following good skincare habits, sun protection, and occasional maintenance treatments can prolong results.

Can I wear makeup after the treatment?

We recommend avoiding makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment to prevent irritation. Once the redness subsides, makeup can be worn as usual.

Are there any side effects?

Mild redness, slight swelling, or a warm sensation may occur for a few hours post-treatment, but these effects typically resolve quickly. In rare cases, temporary bruising or slight darkening of treated veins may occur before they fully fade.
