Alternatives
Laser treatment is usually the best option for vascular lesions of the face. On the legs, injection of a medication to destroy the blood vessel (sclerotherapy) can be a better option for spider veins. Deeper veins may need treatment with surgery or very small lasers that are inserted into larger blood vessels.
