It is possible to treat the broken capillaries at the eye lid, but you will need to have metal eye shields placed on the eye, underneath the eye lid, in order to protect the eye from the laser. Another issue is that the laser will also burn the eyelash hair and there is a risk of the eyelash hair not growing back.

Laser treatment to the veins in this area is meant to help reduce the appearance of the vein, without completely collapsing the vein itself. This is an area that may have to be treated more conservatively, therefore will need more treatments, to avoid affecting your eye and/or vision. Another treatment option would be to inject a hyaluronic acid filler in the tear trough region under your eye to restore your volume loss. This can help to disguise the veins themselves, by filling in the area around the veins.

There are definitely many skin tightening treatments out on the market today. Our office has two treatments that may provide options for your area of concern. The Titan skin tightening treatment treats loose skin by targeting the collagen that has lost it's elasticity and causing it to tighten back up, while also stimulating new collagen. The other treatment option is Trusculpting. Trusculpting permanently destroys about 20-25% of the fat cells present in the treated area and also tightens the surrounding skin. Both of these treatments are meant to be done in a series, depending on how much fat and/or skin laxity is present. It is best to meet with a qualified medical provider to consult on which treatment options are best for you.

These are common problems found , even in young and healthy individuals. We find that laser therapy works best on these type of lower leg veins without any complications and with good results. As a rule of thumb, when the veins are so scattered and too tiny for even the smallest needle bevel, they easily treated with vascular or IPL lasers as long as there are not  larger, more  tortuous veins in the area.

Often nasal veins look superficial when in fact, they are not! Simply treating with a pulse light ( IPL) is not likely to eliminate blue veins on the nose. These are best treated by vascular lasers, often referred to as NdYag lasers. We have great success with the Cutera  CoolGlide or Excel V for eliminating facial veins.
