Answer: Sclerotherapy to facial veins Many people use lasers to treat facial veins rather than sclerotherapy. However, it's never as effective. The problem lies in each person's ability and understanding of anatomy, and injecting skill level. Facial veins can be extremely tiny - and so if a less experienced person injects, they can go right though the vein and inject the solution into tissue, which is not great. Personally, I've injected facial veins with sclerotherapy for over 25 years with extreme success and happy patients. But some doctors won't ever do this because their comfort level isn't there."This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion.
