Facial Veins

Stubborn red veins, broken capillaries, and constant redness don’t have to stay. With advanced light-based treatments and expert care, we safely target facial veins to reveal a fresher, more even complexion.

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.

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.
