How do prominent face veins develop?
Prominent veins on the face, while not a medical issue, can certainly be a cosmetic concern for patients with noticeable veins either on the cheeks, forehead, around the eyes or on the bridge of the nose. Genetics, constant sun exposure, age, hormones, rosacea and trauma are some major ways in which visible veins on the face develop.
How can I reduce the visibility of these veins?
Tiny spider veins are generally well treated either with laser treatments or sclerotherapy.
As these are cosmetic procedures, they fall outside of the realm of insurance coverage. Treatments are simple and require minimal recovery.
