Spider veins commonly represent the effect of wear and tear on the skin. They are particularly frequent in ageing, on light exposed skin and following trauma. Smoking and UV radiation are associated with formation of spider veins.
In order to reduce their formation avoid sun exposure, smoking and use a high spf sunscreen on the entire face at intervals of 3-4 hours during the day time.
As far as treatment is concerned various types of lasers are recommended. Nd: YAG laser, pulsed XXXXXXX laser and intense pulsed light source have shown a beneficial effect on spider veins. You should consult a dermatologist and consider going for laser treatment for removal of these.
I hope to have answered your query.
Good luck.
