Spider Veins Under Eye
We treat these veins with a long-pulsed Nd-YAG every day. It takes 5 minutes and no numbing, poking, scarring or bleeding is involved. I would see a board-certified Dermatologist with laser experience to perform the treatment.

Spider veins
For fine capillaries (called telangiectasia's), in my opinion, the treatment of choice is the pulsed dye laser (595 nm). However, if you have dark skin, any laser treatment around the eyes can put you at risk for increased pigment (hyper pigmentation). You should consult with a facial plastic surgeon, general plastic surgeon or dermatolotgist with a lot of experience with various lasers.

Remove Spider Veins Under the Eye
Hi Sandra. We have treated veins in this area many times. We use a long pulsed Nd:Yg (yag) laser like the Laserscope Lyra or the Sciton Profile. While it is effective, these vessels tend to be a bit larger in size and will return in many cases, which means you will need to treat it again.
