It is seen more frequently in rural areas because people in these areas have generally had more time outdoors. The face veins are not really broken at all. They are veins that have always been there and are just more visible as the skin ages and gets thinner. Face veins can be a source of embarrassment for some people because of the assumption that people with face veins drink too much. This just isn't so. The real cause is exposure to years of sun, wind, cold and smoking all contribute to this condition. Previously, these veins were treated by sclerotherapy injections. This treatment was effective only about 50th of the time. Now with ADVERTISEMENT the Krypton Laser the treatment is completely effective. The Krypton Laser emits a yellow beam that works directly on the blood vessels. Results can he immediate. This new laser unlike older ones doesn't char or bruise the skin. The patient can generally return to work and activities immediately. It is a safe treatment with virtually no complications. - The Loramar Centre for Cosmetic Medicine stall stress that these face veins can he eradicated but that to prevent new ones from forming it is important to have preventative skin care through the use of glycolic acid treatments on the skin. , The glycolic acid treatments thicken the skin and make it healthier and when this happens the veins don't show through. If you would like to have your face veins treated please call the Loramar Centre for Cosmetic Medicine for a full consultation 519-524-4430 or 1-800-896-4430.
