What can I do about the prominent protruding vein running along my hairline? (Photo)

January 30, 2015
Asked By:ruudrocks in Boston, MA

Hi, this has been something that's bothering me for quite some time. I like to have short haircuts that will leave my forehead exposed as I simply find them more comfortable. however, there is a very prominent, protruding vein right in the middle of my hairline which i have circled. if i relax my facial muscles (ie close my eyes or open them only slightly/squint) it disappears but when i open my eyes to their normal size they appear. What can I do about this??

Hratch Karamanoukian, MD, FACS says:

The skin chromophores targeted by the KTP laser are melanin and oxyhaemoglobin.I agree that RF technology may be better here because it does not target melanin and risk of hypopigmentation is less likely.

Thank you for the question! In my practice, I offer sclerotherapy, endovenous laser ablation, Clariven treatment, and microphlebectomy to treat varicose and spider veins. It's not a matter of one treatment being better than the other. Rather, the choice of treatment will depend on a size and l...
