Facial telangiectasia (thin red veins < 1 mm in diameter) are treated by either topical lasers or radiofrequency. Although both can provide good results, protection from sun exposure is required after lasers but not after radiofrequency. In twenty-five years of treating vein disorders, I have never experienced complications after sclerotherapy for facial veins. Sclerotherapy is much more effective than lasers for thicker telangiectsia > 1 mm in diameter, and the only viable choice for reticular veins (blue-green veins 2-4 mm in diameter).
Choose an experienced provider and follow his/her recommendation as to which method will work best for your specific case.

Facial veins can be treated with laser, micro needle RF, removal through tiny incisions and even sclerotherapy. The treatment varies depending on the size and location of the veins.

Facial spider veins are easily treated with the right laser. Larger blue veins around the eyes also but this takes experienced practitioners and the right lasers. There is a higher incidence of complications with injections.

Yes with better results than sclerotherapy

Yes cutaneous laser or radio frequency can help facial veins. If you have a lot of veins you may have rosacea and there is also a medication that makes them look smaller (mirvaso)

Possibly. Also veinwave may be a good option as well or a similar radio frequency device.
