Veins showing up on your face can be distressing. They are often referred to as broken capillaries. It presents as small purple or red wiggly lines. While rarely a medical issue many choose to treat due to visual preference. Facial surface veins can be treated with intense pulsed light or laser depending on the size and distribution of the veins.

Phlebectomy (surgical removal of the veins) has shown to be very effective.
5. Anal Veins
Hemorrhoids (swollen anal veins) are very treatable through several different surgical procedures. The best treatment plan will be chosen for you by your doctor.
