How Can I Get Rid of Unsightly Temple Artery (Yes, It Pulses)?

Visit a board certified Vascular surgeon or a Board certified neurosurgeon. Thank you for your question and good luck with everything.

You cannot get rid of this artery unless you want to compromise blood flow to your scalp and go bald.

 

Hmmmm.  This is a tough one.  I agree that sclerotherapy is a poor option here.  In the past, varicose veins were stripped or surgically removed from the legs.  Some still use this for larger vessels.  It looks like this could be carefully exposed via a small incision and tied off in the hairline. I wouldn't recommend it unless this artery ruins your day every day.  Good luck!

The temporal artery has many branches and it would be technically difficult to ligate an isolated branch without collaterals causing the pulating appearance to return. In the absence of pain (temporar arteritis) it would be very unusual to find a surgeon who would operate based on this indicatio alone. Sclerotherapy is generally resrved for low flow vessels (veins) and not arteries.

Thank you for the question! Artery cannot be eliminated with sclerotherapy or other treatments reserved specifically for varicose or spider veins. One available option is to use injectable fillers around the artery to minimize its appearance. 
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!
