Facial Vein Treatment in NYC
Broken capillaries. Redness around the nose or cheeks. Tiny spider veins on the face. These small things can make a big difference in how we feel about our skin. At Palisades Vein Center, we offer safe, effective treatments to reduce facial veins — helping you feel more confident in your skin again.
What Causes Facial Veins?
Facial veins can show up for a number of reasons. Some of the most common include:
- Rosacea – A chronic skin condition that causes visible redness and broken capillaries
- Sun exposure – UV rays can damage and dilate tiny blood vessels under the skin
- Genetics – If your parents had facial veins, you might be more prone to them
- Aging or thinning skin – Makes veins more noticeable over time
- Lifestyle triggers – Like hot weather, alcohol, or harsh skincare products
Most facial veins are harmless, but they can be stubborn and difficult to cover up. That’s where we come in.
How We Assess and Diagnose Facial Veins
- Evaluate your skin and identify which veins are cosmetic vs. medical
- Determine the root cause (such as rosacea or sun damage)
- Talk through your skincare routine and any known triggers
- Build a custom treatment plan that suits your skin type and goals
You’ll never get a one-size-fits-all recommendation — we personalize every approach. Learn more about our diagnosis & evaluation process.
At-a-Glance

Facial Vein Treatment Options
VeinGogh™ Ohmic Thermolysis
This precision technique uses controlled microbursts of heat to collapse tiny spider veins without damaging surrounding skin. Great for red veins around the nose and cheeks.
Laser Vein Treatment
We use advanced laser technology to target deeper or more diffuse veins. Light energy causes the vein to fade naturally over time — no needles, no downtime.
Sclerotherapy (for select facial veins)
In rare cases, tiny injections may be used to treat slightly larger facial veins (often near the temples). Read more about sclerotherapy and when it’s appropriate for facial veins.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
- Treatment time: Most sessions take 15–30 minutes
- Pain level: Minimal — often described as a warm zap or mild sting
- Recovery: Little to no downtime, though some redness or swelling may appear for 1–2 days
- Aftercare: Avoid sun exposure, skip harsh skincare, and follow any instructions from your provider
We’ll give you everything you need for a smooth recovery and long-lasting results. If you’re exploring treatment for veins elsewhere, see our pages on hand vein treatment, leg vein treatment, and reticular vein treatment.
Results and Maintenance Tips
Most patients see visible improvement after just one session — with optimal results showing up in 2–4 weeks. Some veins may require a series of treatments, especially if they’re more widespread.
To maintain results:
- Use daily sunscreen (even in winter)
- Avoid triggers like alcohol or extreme heat
- Be gentle with your skincare routine
- Consider occasional maintenance sessions if veins reappear

Treated veins won’t return, but new ones can form over time — especially if you have rosacea or sun damage. We’ll give you tips to help maintain your results.
