What Kind of Laser Treatment Would Be Best for Blue Veins on the Breasts? These are not pregnancy related. Thanks.

A: Sclerotherapy is best for blue veins on the breasts

The appearance of superficial blue veins on the breasts occurs especially after breast augmentation. We have been treating these over the last 20 years with sclerotherapy and have published are results in the Journal Dermatologic Surgery.

The procedure takes less than 15 minutes is almost painless and works very well with over 90% of our patients very satisfied after5 1 treatment. Two treatments may be necessary to get complete removal.

A: 90% of pigmentation after sclero will resolve within 6 months

In our 25 year experience in over 20,000 patients, 90% of pigmentation after sclerotherapy, if it ever occurs will resolve within 6 months and the other 10% within 1 year. If it is stubborn, we recommend the q-switched ruby laser which vaporizes out the brown iron staining.
