The best way to reduce or remove veins on the face is via laser. The Vbeam laser is often used because it offers the best results with the least amount of bruising and discomfort. The technology used in the Vbeam laser utilizes micro pulses, which send short bursts of energy to the area being worked on, as opposed to one large, long pulse of energy. Some people still ask about electrocautery, too, which used to be the primary type of vein treatment available. This treatment caused the skin to pit slightly because the needle used would damage the skin. Laser surgery, on the other hand, spares the skin and only affects the vein.
