Ambulatory Phlebectomy on the Face The two types of facial veins most often treated are the smaller spider veins and larger reticular veins. Spider veins usually appear as fine irregular red lines on the nose, cheeks and the side of the face. The larger reticular veins appear greenish blue in color and can be 2-3 mm in diameter. They are most often found along the cheekbone under the eye and at the temple areas. Reticular veins and large spider veins are best treated by ambulatory phlebectomy or sclerotherapy, while smaller spider veins are usually treated easily with laser.
