Upper eyelid veins are difficult to treat

Scott Trimas, MD answers: How to remove broken capillaries above the eyelids?

Hi. Since having my eyebrows threaded some time ago and been asked to pull the skin taut while she was doing it, I have noticed that some purple/blue veins have appeared above my eyelids immediately after and have not disappeared.

Is there any way to have these removed as they were not there before the threading?

Thanks,
Sandra

Upper eyelid veins and broken capillaries can occur after a browlift or upper eyelid surgery. This can be a very difficult problem to correct due to the thin nature of the skin. One possible option is use of a vascular laser to diminish or perhaps remove those veins. However, if you elect to go that route, make sure that you have an eyeshield placed over the eyes first. We have had very good success treating blood vessels in that fashion.
