I'm 23 years old and have started noticing small veins under my eyes that have become more noticeable over the past year. I keep out of the sun and use a hydrating eye cream. I eat fairly healthily as wellThe veins make me look tired on top of having hereditary darker circles. Would laser treatment get rid of the veins? Or would working on the skin on my under eyes be a better approach ?

Facial spider veins can be treated by sclerotherapy and finer veins can be treated by multiple modalities including topical laser, microneedle RF and IPL. I picture would help to give a more specific answer.
Hello,
First, I am not sure that it is the angular vein that you see, it may be the tear trough ligament with is a bit displaced.
It is rare to see a dilated vein in this area, they communicate with deep ones in general and should drain into them correctly if there is no obstacle.

Blue facial veins are very easy to treat with lasers. For blue facial veins the best laser is a long pulse 1064 Nd:Yag. For tiny red veins a 532 KTP laser works great.
