Laser treatment will work to reduce or eliminate your visible veins and most of the rosacea. There are several types are laser that are used, probably the best being a pulsed dye laser. Treatment can be performed with just a topically applied anesthesia. Most of the larger veins will literally be 'erased' with the laser without damage to the overlying skin.
Mutliple treatments sessions are often used and the most common problems following the treatment can be mild bruising.
