You can also try home remedies for removing spider veins. However, these treatment methods may not work for everyone. These remedies do not include side effects to the body and are safe to use. Before, using these remedies you should consult a vein treatment doctor:
Because your face skin is delicate, excessive heat exposure can break the blood vessels. Therefore, you should avoid washing your face with hot water. If you already developed spider veins on your face, you can use warm or cold water to wash your face. That way you can avoid any further damage and let the vessels disappear naturally.
You can apply a bag of frozen peas or ice pack on the spider veins especially when you reach home after excessive sun exposure. Applying cold compress you can reduce the development of these network-like bulgy vessels on the face.
A gel extracted from the aloe vera plant can remove the spider veins from your skin. Apart from that, it reduces the redness of the skin. You can also use medicinal cream such as hydrocortisone. The side effect of this cream is that it dries out your skin cells. Therefore, you should moisturize your skin every time you apply this cream to your face.
