Facial Veins
Dilated face veins have become a cosmetic concern for many people. They occur predominantly in the frontal (forehead), temporal (temple), and suborbital (under-eye) regions.
Facial veins may dilate and become more prominent due to increased scalp drainage or physiological compression caused by laughing, straining, dehydration, sun exposure, or physical activity.
Unlike leg veins, facial veins are thin-walled and contain no valves, and they do not require duplex ultrasound investigation prior to treatment in most cases.
At our clinic, we safely and effectively treat all types of facial veins using advanced techniques tailored to the specific vein type and location.

Foam Sclerotherapy: The treatment of choice for larger, dilated frontal and temporal veins.
Nd-YAG Laser: Used for periocular veins and venous lakes.
Laser-treated veins fade over 2–6 weeks
