Facial & Leg Veins
Facial and leg veins are dialated superficial veins that appear primarily on the nose, chin, or cheek area and often accompanies roasacea and other skin-based trauma. Around 70% of women and 30% of men will develop a venous disorder. While it's not completely known what causes these disorders, hereditary disposition is believed to be a likely cause. However, oral contraceptives, hormone changes and therapy, sun exposure, and natural aging are also believed to contribute to development. Within 1-2 treatments, most visible veins will disappear from sight, however, further treatments may be required in some cases.
