FACIAL VEINS & VENOUS LAKE TREATMENT
Reduce facial redness, thread veins and venous lakes with medical-grade Nd:YAG laser and CryoPen treatments
If you’ve noticed small red, purple or blue veins on your face that seem to catch the light or stand out more than they used to, it can be frustrating. For many people, these visible veins draw attention to areas like the nose, cheeks or lips and can make the skin look permanently flushed or uneven.
Small red, purple or blue veins can appear on the face due to sun exposure, ageing, genetics or lifestyle factors. Often called thread veins or broken capillaries, they are harmless but can make the skin look flushed, uneven or red.
At Beyoo Medical Aesthetics in Lancaster, we use safe, precise treatments to gently fade facial veins, redness and vascular blemishes, helping your skin look clearer and more even. Treatments are carried out by our experienced skin and laser therapist using medical-grade Nd:YAG laser technology and the CryoPen®, under clinical supervision.
Book your facial vein consultation in Lancaster to have your skin assessed and discuss the most suitable treatment for you.
Why patients seek help
Many patients come to us because facial veins make them feel self-conscious, particularly on the nose, cheeks or chin. Others are bothered by small blue or purple marks on the lips, known as venous lakes.
Common reasons people seek treatment include:
- Red or purple thread veins on the cheeks, nose or chin
- Persistent redness that resembles sunburn or flushing
- Small vascular blemishes such as cherry angiomas
- Blue or purple venous lakes on the lips
- Broken capillaries caused by sun damage or temperature changes
- Wanting clearer, calmer skin without relying on makeup
These concerns are very common and can usually be treated quickly and safely with the right approach.
If facial veins are affecting your confidence, book an assessment and we’ll guide you through your options.
What causes facial veins & venous lakes
Facial veins and redness develop when tiny blood vessels close to the surface of the skin become fragile or dilated.
- Sun exposure weakens vessel walls and increases the risk of venous lakes
- Genetics can make some people more prone to visible capillaries
- Hormonal changes such as pregnancy or menopause increase vascular sensitivity
- Temperature extremes can trigger repeated flushing
- Lifestyle factors including alcohol, exercise or spicy foods can worsen redness
- Ageing causes skin thinning, making vessels more visible
Venous lakes are small, dark blue vascular spots, most commonly seen on the lips, caused by sun exposure and fragile capillaries. They are harmless but often become more noticeable over time.
Treatment options at Beyoo
At Beyoo, we offer two advanced treatments for facial veins and vascular blemishes. The most suitable option depends on the type, size and depth of the vessels.
Nd:YAG Laser Vein Removal
Our medical-grade Nd:YAG laser targets unwanted veins and vascular lesions with precision. The laser energy is absorbed by the blood vessel, causing it to collapse and be naturally reabsorbed by the body.
This treatment is ideal for:
- Thread veins on the cheeks, nose and chin
- Broken capillaries linked to rosacea or sun damage
- Diffuse facial redness and flushing
- Blue or purple venous lakes on the lips
Treatment time: 15 to 30 minutes
Downtime: mild redness or warmth for up to 24 hours
Results: clearer, calmer skin develops over the following weeks
Most patients require a short course of treatments, often around three sessions, depending on the extent of the veins.
CryoPen® for Isolated Veins and Vascular Spots
For individual veins or small vascular blemishes, CryoPen® offers a highly targeted option. It uses a fine jet of nitrous oxide to freeze and destroy the lesion without affecting surrounding skin.
CryoPen® is particularly effective for:
- Single thread veins
- Small cherry angiomas
- Tiny venous lakes on the lips or face
Treatment time: 10 to 20 minutes
Downtime: minimal, with mild redness or flaking for a few days
Results: visible improvement after one to two sessions
We’ll recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your skin and the type of vein present.
What to expect
- Consultation: Your journey begins with a consultation with our experienced skin and laser therapist. We assess your skin, identify the type of vascular concern and talk through the most effective treatment plan.
- Treatment: Laser or CryoPen® energy is applied directly to the targeted veins. Most patients describe a brief warm or tingling sensation. Treatment is quick, precise and well tolerated.
- Aftercare: You can return to normal activities straight away. We provide clear aftercare advice and guidance on protecting your skin between sessions.
Recovery & results
Mild redness or warmth may appear after treatment and usually settles within a few hours. Some veins fade immediately, while others darken slightly before gradually disappearing over the next few weeks.
Results are long-lasting, although new veins can develop over time due to genetics, sun exposure or hormonal changes. Ongoing sun protection and good skincare help maintain results.
Safety & reassurance
All vascular treatments are performed by our experienced skin and laser therapist, with clinical oversight from our nurse prescriber and medical team.
We use only medical-grade Nd:YAG laser technology and CE-marked CryoPen® devices. Every patient receives a full consultation and suitability assessment before treatment to ensure safe, effective care.
Book your facial vein treatment in Lancaster with confidence, knowing your skin is being treated safely and professionally.
