What Are Facial Veins?
Facial veins are visible blood vessels that appear just beneath the surface of the skin. Though they are not usually a medical concern, they can be cosmetically distressing, especially when they occur in highly visible areas of the face.
Common types of facial veins include:
- Spider veins: Fine, red or purple lines that resemble a web
- Reticular veins: Slightly larger blue or green veins beneath the skin
- Periorbital veins: Prominent blue veins around or under the eyes

What Causes Facial Veins to Appear?
There are several contributing factors to the development of facial veins. Sun exposure is one of the most common culprits. UV rays break down collagen and weaken vessel walls, making veins more noticeable over time. Aging also plays a role, as the skin naturally becomes thinner and less elastic, revealing veins that were once hidden.
- Genetics: A family history of visible veins increases your likelihood
- Rosacea and skin inflammation: Chronic redness can lead to broken capillaries
- Hormonal changes: Pregnancy, menopause, or hormone therapy can dilate facial veins
- Lifestyle habits: Frequent alcohol use, exposure to extreme heat, or facial trauma can make veins more likely to appear
The #1 Type of Facial Vein Treatment
Dr. Park uses a personalized approach, selecting the most appropriate treatment based on the vein’s type, size, and location. Her treatments are designed to be safe, effective, and minimally invasive.
An effective treatment offered by Dr. Park is:
- Sclerotherapy: A solution is injected into the vein to seal it off. Effective for both spider veins and larger, deeper veins like those around the eyes and on the forehead.
These procedures are performed in-office, without the need for sedation or surgical incisions.

What to Expect During & After Treatment

“Dr. Park really took the time to listen and understand what bothered me. I left feeling informed, supported, and excited about my treatment.”
— Amanda H., Simpsonville
The Treatment
Most facial vein sclerotherapy treatments are quick and well-tolerated. Sessions generally last approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
After the session, patients typically return to their regular activities immediately. However, a few minor precautions may be recommended.
- Downtime: Minimal to none
- Discomfort: Very mild discomfort related to the small needle used
- Post-care: Avoid direct sun exposure and strenuous activity for 24–48 hours
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery is typically straightforward and brief. Most patients experience mild redness, bruising, or swelling, which resolves within a couple of days. Treated veins may darken slightly before fading away over the following weeks.
For best results, follow Dr. Park’s aftercare instructions:
- Apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily and wear a hat when in the sun for long periods of time
- Avoid heat sources like saunas or hot showers for a few days
- Use gentle skincare and avoid exfoliants temporarily
How Long Do Results Last?
Once treated, facial veins typically fade and do not return. However, new veins may develop in the future due to age, genetics, or environmental triggers.
Many patients return for occasional maintenance treatments to preserve their results.
You can expect:
- Noticeable improvement within 2–6 weeks
- Long-lasting results for most patients
- Maintenance touch-ups every few years if needed
Can You Prevent Facial Veins?
While you can’t control every factor, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk:
- Use sunscreen every day: UV protection is essential to prevent new vein formation
- Avoid extreme temperatures: Limit exposure to hot environments and cold wind
- Limit alcohol: Alcohol dilates blood vessels and may worsen existing veins
- Treat underlying skin conditions: Manage rosacea and chronic redness early
Taking these preventative measures can help prolong your results and minimize the risk of new veins forming.
