has anyone had them removed from their face, if so how and did hurt/cost a lot of money?

I have some that I feel awkard about and would like them removed and have been thinking about IPL?

I had it done a few years ago and was very pleased with the results. You can get burnt though so make sure you get somebody reputable to do it for you. It is worth the money. I used to try and cover my thread veins with make up but that was never wholly successful. It definitely gives you a younger look.
