What Are Facial Veins?

Facial veins, sometimes called broken capillaries or telangiectasia, are tiny blood vessels that sit close to the surface of the skin. When they dilate or weaken, they become visible as fine red, blue, or purple lines. They most commonly appear around the nose, cheeks, and chin, and while they aren’t harmful, they can make skin look red, patchy, or uneven.

What Causes Facial Veins?

Broken or spider veins on the face are be brought on by a mix of internal and external factors. Sun exposure particularly in NZ, ageing and thinning skin, past skin trauma or injury, and even extreme temperatures like wind, heat, or cold can all make tiny blood vessels more visible. Skin conditions such as rosacea can also play a role, causing persistent redness and broken capillaries.

The good news? With modern light-based treatments, we can safely target these visible veins without harming the surrounding skin. Over time, they fade or disappear, helping restore a clearer, more even complexion.

Facial Veins Treatment and Removal Options

Fractional CO2 Laser

Fractional CO2 laser works beneath the skin’s surface to stimulate new collagen and repair damaged blood vessels. For facial or spider veins, it helps reduce visible redness and broken capillaries while also improving overall skin tone and texture. Over time, the skin looks clearer, smoother, and more even.

Photo Rejuvenation

Photo Rejuvenation uses targeted pulses of light to safely heat and collapse visible blood vessels at the surface of the skin. This makes it especially effective for treating spider veins, broken capillaries, and general redness. It also boosts collagen, which supports stronger, healthier skin and helps prevent future flare-ups.

Microneedling

Microneedling creates tiny micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulate natural collagen and elastin production. While it doesn’t directly close broken blood vessels like light-based treatments, it strengthens the skin’s overall structure and improves circulation. This makes facial veins and redness less visible over time, while also supporting a healthier, more even complexion.

See The Results For Yourself

My skin started to feel softer and softer

"I had never had a Microdermabrasion before, but after having my consultation and treatment, I am definitely more aware of my skin. After a few days, my skin started to feel softer and softer. I'd love to get this treatment a few times a year now."

Lena

My face felt clean and refreshed!

"My Skin Therapist was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. During the treatment, the products felt like they were penetrating into my face directly as opposed to fighting through the dead skin I earlier had. After the treatment, I was very relaxed and my face felt clean and refreshed."

Ana

My skin felt amazingly soft and smooth

"It wasn't painful, just unusual and tickled in some areas! My skin felt amazingly soft and smooth after the treatment, my Skin Therapist was amazing too! I am really happy with the results and would definitely recommend this to a friend. I hope to have this treatment every 4 - 6 weeks now!"

FAQ's

What are facial veins?

Facial veins, also called broken capillaries or spider veins, are tiny blood vessels that become visible on the surface of the skin. They usually appear as fine red, blue, or purple lines around the nose, cheeks, or chin.

What causes facial veins?

They can be caused by sun exposure, ageing, genetics, hormonal changes, rosacea, extreme temperatures, or even skin trauma. In New Zealand, strong UV exposure is one of the most common triggers.

Are facial veins harmful?

No, facial veins are harmless and purely cosmetic. However, many people choose to treat them because they can cause persistent redness, uneven tone, or make skin look older.

Can skincare remove facial veins?

Skincare can strengthen and support the skin barrier, which helps reduce redness and sensitivity, but it won’t remove visible veins. Clinic treatments are the most effective way to clear them.

What treatments work for facial veins at Caci?

Caci offers light-based treatments such as Photo Rejuvenation (IPL) and Fractional Laser, which target the blood vessels without damaging surrounding skin. These treatments help fade or collapse the veins for a clearer, more even complexion.

Will the veins come back after treatment?

Treated veins usually fade or disappear permanently, but new ones can develop over time. Protecting your skin from sun damage and using supportive skincare can help maintain long-lasting results.
