Hi, I’ve got these on both sides of my nose. They are pretty noticeable and I feel very self conscious about them.
About a year ago I had a couple of sessions of laser treatment on them. It was very expensive and it appeared to be very successful, with all of the veins disappearing. However, over the following weeks they all gradually reappeared. It was like they had been pushed under the surface and bobbed back up again. The lady who carried out the procedure said that they should break up under the skin and be reabsorbed back into the bloodstream. This clearly didn’t happen. I have since consulted another practitioner who said that the reason they didn’t go away was because the veins on the side of my nose are only small parts of much longer veins under the skin and you have to break down the whole vein, not just the bit you see on the side of the nose, and if only the visible section is targeted, like before when they zapped the sides of my nose, then the blood would disappear from that section but would later be refilled by blood from further along the vein. It would be nearly impossible to kill off the whole vein as most of it is under the skin.
Does anyone know who is correct? I really want to have them lasered again but it’s a lot of money to spend if it’s not going to work. Or any other suggestions gratefully received!
