    These are called Spider Naevi or Telangiectasia.

    They may disapear in time, but if you want them treated for cosmetic purposes, the central spot can be destroyed with fine needle electrodessication (sealing off of blood vessels by a high frequency electric current).

    Some doctors may suggest treatment with lasers, but this is often more expensive.
