Are these dark circles caused by just blood vessels? (Photo)

February 18, 2014
Asked By:andy1337 in United Kingdom, GB

I have really bad dark circles and blue veins at the side of them I never had them up until I was 14 I wasn't sure if they were caused by me breaking my nose. Is there anything I can do to treat them such as lasers? If so does anyone know of doctors/surgeons willing to use them in the UK for the under eyes and at the side of the eye. Added a photo I had all ready posted a question but had not used a photo.
