Much like spider veins, facial telangiectasias can be influenced by hormones, but they are most often caused by prolonged sun exposure. They are common in people who have worked outside most of their lives and also in women following pregnancy or the use of hormone replacement therapy. Facial telangiectasias do not pose a serious health threat, cause no symptoms and are always considered a cosmetic problem.

Above is an example of  Facial telangiectasias before and after treatment. 
Just like all the photographs you will see on this website, these images are taken of an actual patient seen and treated at the Midwest Vein Center.
