Facial spider veins, sometimes called telangiectasias, are small, visible blood vessels that appear as fine red or purple lines around the cheeks, nose, and eyes. Port wine stains are a related but distinct vascular birthmark, typically flat and reddish-purple, that can occur anywhere on the face or body. Both conditions are caused by abnormalities in the small blood vessels near the surface of the skin, and while they’re not medically dangerous, they can affect confidence and self-image, especially when they’re prominent or widespread.
Treatment Options at Shore Vascular & Vein Center
At Shore Vascular & Vein Center in Somers Point, NJ , Dr. Gosin uses advanced laser technology to treat facial veins and port wine stains, applying the same precision and expertise he brings to our laser tattoo removal and Picogenesis skin rejuvenation services. Laser treatment works by targeting the abnormal blood vessels with focused light energy, causing them to collapse and fade without damaging the surrounding skin.
Because every patient’s skin and vein pattern is different, Dr. Gosin will evaluate your specific case during a consultation and recommend a treatment plan tailored to your goals. Many patients see meaningful improvement in the appearance of facial veins and port wine stains after just a few sessions. If you’re also dealing with spider veins on your legs, our team can address those during the same course of care; learn more about sclerotherapy for spider veins or our approach to varicose and spider vein treatment.
