Dilemma for treatment of veins under eyes/tear trough hollows? (Photo)

August 22, 2015
Asked By:nat942110 in Denver, CO

I have deep tear troughs and I veins in the same area. I've had these since I was a little girl. Veins are flat and blue in color. I live in Denver CO and having a hard time finding a dermatologist who treats periorbital veins and tear troughs. I'm worried the veins could get poked or worse if I do fillers first. Am I right to want to treat the veins first and then go on to fillers? I found one dermatologist that uses a Cutera Excel V 1064 nm laser for face veins. Is this a good option for me?

Not related to diet.You could take some bioflavonoids to keep your veins healthy. However, these can easily be treated in the legs with sclerotherapy and or cosmetic laser. The same can be done on the face using long pulse dye lasers. There is nothing you can do about the genetics of having a f...
