Facial Vein Treatments
Don’t let visible facial veins undermine your confidence. Colorado Skin & Vein’s advanced laser treatments eliminate spider veins and broken capillaries safely and effectively, revealing the clear, even complexion you deserve.
What Are Facial Veins?
Facial veins—including spider veins, broken capillaries, and telangiectasias—appear as small red, purple, or blue lines on the face, most commonly around the nose, cheeks, and chin. These visible vessels develop when tiny blood vessels near the skin’s surface dilate and become visible.
Multiple factors contribute to facial vein development: genetics, sun exposure, aging, rosacea, hormonal changes, and trauma. While medically harmless, facial veins can significantly impact confidence and appearance. Colorado Skin & Vein specializes in advanced laser treatments that safely and effectively eliminate these vessels, restoring clear, even-toned skin without surgery or downtime.

Dr. David Verebelyi and his staff at the Colorado Skin and Vein are incredible. I had several veins in my legs and feet that were not working properly which caused a lot of swelling in my feet and ankles. At my initial appointment Dr. Verebelyi explained the process and procedures that he would do over a four-day period. Everything went exactly as he described. I feel like I have been given a new lease on life to be able to walk without my feet being so swollen.

I spent months seeing various doctors trying to figure out the bruise like marks on my legs. I finally came to CSV and Dr Verebelyi and his team diagnosed my issue as a problem with my veins and the valves/reflux. They have lasers to treat the side effects but were able to treat the underlying cause. Every procedure I had was comfortable and super easy. All of the staff and employees at this clinic were very professional, kind, and enjoyable to work with, which reflects positively on the doctor and practice. I finally found a clinic that can treat all of my issues in one setting and their lasers actually work. Thank you everyone!

Facial Vein Treatment FAQ
What causes facial spider veins and broken capillaries?
Multiple factors contribute to facial vein development: genetics, sun exposure, rosacea, aging, hormonal changes, and trauma. Sun damage weakens delicate vessels over time. Rosacea creates chronic inflammation leading to visible vessels. Aging causes vessel walls to lose elasticity. Temperature extremes, alcohol consumption, and certain medications also play roles. Most people develop facial veins due to a combination of these factors.
Does facial vein treatment hurt?
Most patients report minimal discomfort—typically a warming sensation or slight snapping feeling during treatment. Modern laser systems include integrated cooling technology that significantly enhances comfort. Sessions last only 15-30 minutes. No anesthesia is usually needed, though topical numbing cream can be applied for sensitive areas. Most find the procedure far more comfortable than anticipated.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients require 2-4 treatment sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal clearance. The exact number depends on vessel extent, size, depth, skin type, and individual response. Smaller superficial vessels often respond faster than larger deeper veins. We assess progress after each session and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.
What results can I expect from facial vein treatment?
Most patients achieve 60-90% clearance of treated facial veins after completing their recommended series. Treated vessels darken initially, then gradually fade over 2-6 weeks. Smaller vessels often clear after 1-2 treatments, while deeper veins may need additional sessions. Results look completely natural—treated areas blend seamlessly with surrounding skin.
Is there any downtime after facial vein treatment?
No downtime required—resume normal activities immediately. Mild redness similar to light sunburn typically resolves within hours. Treated vessels may darken temporarily before fading. Apply makeup the next day if desired. Avoid hot showers, vigorous exercise, and sun exposure for 24-48 hours. Most patients return to work and social activities the same day.
Will my facial veins come back after treatment?
Treated vessels are permanently eliminated and won’t return. However, new vessels may develop over time due to genetics, sun exposure, aging, or rosacea. Sun protection, proper skincare, and managing triggers minimize new formation. Most patients maintain results for many years. Occasional maintenance treatments address any newly formed vessels.
Are facial vein treatments covered by insurance?
Facial vein treatments are typically considered cosmetic and not covered by insurance. Coverage is rare even with associated conditions like rosacea. Most patients pay out-of-pocket, but Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) can often be used. We provide transparent pricing upfront and offer financing options for those who prefer payment plans.
Can darker skin tones safely receive facial vein treatment?
Yes—Nd:YAG lasers at 1064nm wavelength safely treat facial veins in darker skin tones. This longer wavelength poses less risk of hyperpigmentation than shorter wavelengths. The key is using appropriate technology and parameters customized to your skin type. Our experienced providers assess your skin carefully and select the safest, most effective approach for excellent results across all skin types.
How soon will I see results after facial vein treatment?
Initial results appear within days as treated vessels begin to darken and fade. Complete response develops over 2-6 weeks following each session. Smaller vessels typically fade faster than larger ones. Treated vessels may darken initially—this is normal and indicates successful treatment. Maximum improvement is visible 4-6 weeks post-treatment, which is why we schedule follow-up sessions at this interval.
