Small red or purple vessels around the nose, cheeks, or chin can become more noticeable over time. At Ohio Clinic For Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery in Westlake, our Vein Erasure treatment is used for facial telangiectasia, often called broken capillaries. Our paramedical aestheticians work under the direction of Michael H. Wojtanowski, MD, FACS, a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery with more than three decades of experience.
Which Facial Vessels Can Be Treated?
Vein Erasure is intended for small vascular blemishes on the face rather than larger varicose veins. Ohio Clinic uses this technique on areas such as the cheeks, forehead, nose, upper lip, and chin.
Before treatment, a consultation gives you a chance to point out the areas that bother you, review your skin history, and ask questions about what may be appropriate for your skin. It is also a good time to mention previous cosmetic procedures, current skin-care products, or changes you have noticed in the area.
How the Treatment Works
Ohio Clinic uses a hair-fine needle to coagulate the unwanted vessel. In simple terms, the technique treats the small superficial vessel creating the visible red or purple line.
The number, size, and location of these vessels can differ from person to person, so treatment planning depends on what our team sees during your visit rather than a one-size-fits-all schedule. If you are also concerned about texture, sun damage, or other cosmetic skin changes, we can discuss whether a different option from our skincare treatments would better suit those separate concerns.
If a facial mark is new, painful, bleeding, changing, or you are not sure what it is, mention that before cosmetic treatment. Vein Erasure is a cosmetic service and is not a substitute for medical evaluation of an unexplained vascular or skin change.
Questions Worth Asking at Your Visit
Because the Ohio Clinic service page does not list a universal treatment time, recovery period, or number of sessions, those details are best discussed during your visit. Useful questions may include:
- Which of my visible vessels are suitable for Vein Erasure?
- Could I need more than one treatment?
- What should I expect my skin to look like afterward?
- Should I change any part of my skin-care routine before or after treatment?
These questions can give you a clearer idea of what your own treatment may involve without assuming every patient will have the same experience.
