Dear Shama ji,
Yes, spider veins (also called facial telangiectasia) on the nose and cheeks are treatable. These are small, dilated blood vessels that appear close to the surface of the skin and are commonly caused by sun damage, genetics, rosacea, or hormonal changes.
Treatment options available include:
Laser Therapy (ND: YAG / IPL):
The most effective and commonly used treatment for spider veins
Targets and collapses the visible veins without damaging the nearby skin
Requires multiple sessions for best results
Electrosurgery / Radiofrequency (RF):
Uses heat to close off the small vessels
Can be effective for smaller or stubborn veins
Topical care and sun protection:
SPF use daily is important to prevent further damage
Dermatologists may recommend creams to support skin healing and reduce redness
Next Step:
We recommend that you consult a dermatologist or cosmetic skin specialist who can assess your skin and suggest the best option for you based on the severity and skin type.
