Simon, I am in the process of researching Dermal-K Vitamin K cream, which claims to be used by Dermatologists and Cosmetic Surgeons for many reasons including spider veins on the face. It is an expensive product, averaging $30.00 (US) for a 2-ounce jar of cream... since my insurance company only deals with one pharmacy, I have to wait till Monday to call and see if you can get 5% Vitamin K cream by prescription anymore -- if so, I'll call the doctor up and ask if he will write a prescription for it and I'll give it a try... here is what is said on the Internet about it: If anyone has any experience with this, I'd greatly appreciate hearing about it... it's okay to send me private e-mail as well. DERMAL K is used for treating capillary redness, bruises, skin irritations, and scarring. Dermal K is a unique formulation of 5% USP-grade Vitamin K (Phytonadione) in a soothing aloe vera base. Safe and effective, it contains no animal products. Dermal K eliminates spider veins (dilated or broken capillaries) for many people with continued use. For most people, it gets rid of diffuse background redness. Dermal K relieves pain and inflammation from skin irritations, burns and sunburns. Dermal K rehabilitates the skin and promotes normal healing of damaged skin. It lightens the effect of scars. It is also effective on tissue skin. Dermal K speeds dispersal of any type of bruise by causing the involved capillaries to heal faster. Ingredients of Dermal K: Purified Water, Aloe Vera Gel, Caprylic Capric Triglyceride, Butylene Glycol, Cyclomethicone, Bis-Diglyceryl Caprylate / Caprate / Isostearate / Stearate / Hydroxystearate Adipate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Dimethicone, Peg-100 Stearate, Ceteareth-20, Cetyl Alcohol, Phytonadione USP (Vitamin K), Tribehenin, Shea Butter, Allantoin, Basil Oil, White Thyme Oil, Lavender Oil, Pettigrain Oil, Cedarwood Oil, Orange Oil, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Disodium EDTA, olidinyl Urea, Phenoxyethanol, Acrylates / C-10-30, Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Triethanolamine, BHT. Method of use: Apply twice a day. Slightly moisten the area that you want to affect with warm water to ensure the pores are open. You can use a warm, damp wash cloth as a compress to achieve this. Apply Dermal-K directly to the damaged skin or area with capillary involvement. For best results rub lightly and vigorously into the skin. Dermal-K can be applied under day cream / sunscreen / make-up, however it is recommended that you wait at least 15 minutes before applying the next product. Allow six weeks to see improvement. The Dermal-K will probably affect the smallest veins first; this will give the impression that the diffuse redness (from micropscopic veins) is fading, but you may see the larger veins more clearly because of this. After reaching the desired reults, it is recommended to use Dermal-K once a day, three days a week to prevent the capillaries from reappearing. Time of results may vary. This is due to factors such as the severity of the problem, the thickness and type of skin, and the PH balance of the skin. Do not apply into eyes or open wounds.
