We specialize in treating facial telangiectasia—those small, visible blood vessels that can appear as red, blue, or purple thread-like lines, often around the nose, cheeks, or chin. Spider veins on the face can be a common cosmetic concern, becoming more prominent with age, sun exposure, or hormonal changes. While generally harmless, they can impact a person’s confidence and make the skin appear uneven or flushed.
Telangiectasia Treatment
Telangiectasia Treatment, also commonly known as Spider Vein Treatment, at Hawaii Natural Medicine is designed to reduce and eliminate the appearance of spider veins, restoring a more even skin tone and healthier look to affected areas. Using safe, advanced technology, these treatments target the blood vessels responsible for spider veins, causing them to collapse and eventually fade, leaving skin visibly clearer.
How It Works
Telangiectasia treatment generally involves laser therapy, which uses targeted light energy to heat and collapse the blood vessels responsible for spider veins. The body naturally reabsorbs these treated veins over time, resulting in a significant reduction in visible spider veins. For some patients, sclerotherapy may also be an option; this minimally invasive procedure involves injecting a solution directly into the vein, causing it to seal and fade over time.
What Causes Spider Veins?
Telangiectasia often develops when veins close to the skin’s surface weaken or become damaged. This can be due to a range of factors, such as genetics, hormonal changes, prolonged sitting or standing, sun exposure, and age. These factors can lead to the pooling of blood in the veins, causing them to become enlarged and visible as spider veins.
