Best way to remove spider veins from face
by Pazwell, Mar 10, 2000 12:00AM
Dr.,

     I have heard of several methods to remove spider veins from the face. I only have about three and they are small but I still want them removed. What is the best way? I have heard of laser as well as a certain type of shot. Is the method of treatment different for those who only have a few?

Thanks

Paz

Mr. Pazwell:

The safest and most effective way to remove blood vessels from the face is laser.  There are several which are safe and helpful.  Injections on the face are best avoided, and in any case no longer needed.

Treatment may have to be repeated for complete success.

Best.

Dr. R
