Age 52, Veins Protruding From Temples Above Eyebrows. What Are My Treatment Options?

Question

I'm 52 and Pretty Active. I Have Had Botox and Filler in the Past in my Temples. I Also Work out Alot. In the Past 2 Years I have horrible looking veins that protrude from the temple and above the eyebrow. What laser or treatment can I get to shrink these veins and make them less noticeable. Thanks in advance. Any good doctors in the Austin, Texas area?

Thank you for your question. I would recommend seeing a Board certified plastic surgeon, oculoplastic surgeon, or ENT Surgeon. These veins may need a surgical option, and will likely not be amenable to laser treatments for large veins due to a higher risk of complications within this area. I hope this helps.

Thank you for the question! It is rather difficult to fully assess your situation without an in-person exam. Such an exam would be necessary to ensure that your bulging vein is not an artery. If you do have a varicose vein, however, it can be effectively treated with sclerotherapy. This method uses a sclerosing solution that causes the vein to shrink. Usually sclerotherapy takes only 1 to 3 sessions to achieve fading of the undesirable veins.   
An in-person exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to assess your needs and obtain expert medical advice. Best of luck!

We have the largest selection of lasers for broken capillaries and varicose veins on the face and eyebrows, temples, bridge of the nose, etc.Long pulse lasers are very effective in treating these type of veins. Larger veins can be treated with microligation and sclerotherapy combined.
