Facial Vein Removal

A popular in-office procedure, facial vein removal can help eliminate unsightly spider veins on your face or other parts of your body. The treatment is quick with minimal discomfort or recovery time. It can often be done at the same time as your consultation with immediate results. Most individuals need only one treatment, but depending on the number of veins, a brief second visit may be required.

Radiosurgery treatment for facial vein removal uses radio frequency energy to eliminate facial spider veins. Radiosurgery is the passage of ultra high-frequency radio waves into the skin to gently remove facial veins. Unlike lasers and cautery, radiosurgery precisely targets each specific vessel minimizing damage to surrounding tissue.

Patients may experience minimal discomfort and temporary redness and swelling. Bruising is very rare. Most facial vessels are stimulated by ultraviolet radiation; as such, sunscreen use is a must after treatment for proper healing and to prevent further spider veins from appearing. (TOP)
