Results

Get Maximum Results with Minimal Discomfort

When you look in the mirror, is the first thing you see the small little red vein clusters on your face?

These broken capillaries called spider veins or spider vein clusters lie just beneath the surface of your skin, making them very noticeable and difficult to conceal with makeup.

Good news! Board-certified vascular surgeon Dr. Joseph Magnant and his skilled team at Vein Specialists offer minimally invasive facial vein evaluation and treatment available, including Injection Sclerotherapy and VeinGogh™ thermolysis.

As the original IAC Accredited Vein Center in Southwest Florida, we will create a personalized treatment plan to dramatically change what you see in the mirror.

Benefits

The Benefits of VeinGogh Facial Vein Treatment

We recommend VeinGogh™ to treat facial and nasal spider veins because it provides fast, easy treatment with less discomfort than other therapies. VeinGogh™ facial vein treatment offers immediate and consistent results without affecting the outer layers of the skin. The treatment is completed in two simple steps after the application of a topical anesthetic:

  • Thermal energy generates a tiny, regulated, high-frequency current to the vessel via a hair-thin probe.
  • A microburst of energy selectively heats the vein, coagulating the blood and collapsing the vessel wall, allowing your body to absorb it.

VeinGogh™ not only treats broken facial capillaries, but it also can be used to effectively treat:

  • Cherry Angiomas (Raised Red Freckles or Moles)
  • Small Hemangiomas (Raised Freckles or Moles)
  • Skin Tags
  • Spider Nevi (Cluster of Small Veins)
  • Redness Caused by Rosacea
Treatment options

Facial Vein Treatment for Larger Facial Veins

If you have larger facial veins that need treatment, you may be a better candidate for Injection Sclerotherapy.

During this treatment, the veins are injected with a solution that coagulates the blood within the veins, causing them to scar and disappear. The vessels then collapse, and your body naturally eliminates the vein.

Injection sclerotherapy has advanced in recent years, and we offer the latest form of this treatment.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is facial vein treatment painful?

Facial vein treatment is typically not painful. However, you may feel some slight discomfort from the VeinGogh™ or injection sclerotherapy treatments. To alleviate anxiety or needle phobia, you may choose to upgrade your experience by using nitrous oxide or ProNox™ for a small additional fee. Reach out to Vein Specialists today to explore your treatment options.

How much does facial vein treatment cost?

If you’re wondering about the cost of facial vein treatment, the price will depend on the type and extent of treatment you require. Contact Vein Specialists to learn more about facial vein treatment pricing.

Can stress cause facial veins?

Although stress doesn’t directly cause facial veins, it could worsen an underlying health condition and intensify the development of facial or nasal veins. Other factors which may accelerate nasal or facial spider vein development include excess sun exposure and excessive alcohol consumption.
