I have a vein under my eye that I would like treated. This is a single larger vein, not spider veins. Is facial sclerotherapy a possiblity?
Depending on the size of the vessel and the color, there are at least 3 different lasers that I would consider using. The problem with sclerotherapy around the eye is that the the product that is being injected can cause vision loss or blindness, and this has been reported in the medical literature.
Care must be taken when using lasers around the eyes as well, but this is why it is extremely important that you go to a dermatology or plastic surgery office that specializes in these procedures. The physician should be performing the treatment and not deligating the procedure to someone else in his office (i.e. nurse, PA, technician).
Research the physician for Board certification and specialty and best of luck to you.
