Are there any treatment options for veins close to the eye area? I’m extremely self conscious of these veins. I’ve been told undereye PRP injections, RF ablation and microneedling will help. I’ve tried them all to no avail. Is there anything that can be used this close to the eye that will actually be effective?

Answer: Vein under eye Normally the best and only way to treat that type of vein is using a long pulsed Nd YAG laser. It must be done carefully and typically we would need to put an eye shield over your eye during the case. It is quite simple and there should be little downtime with exception of some mild swelling.

Answer: Peri-orbital vein treatment You basically have three options. Laser treatment, sclerotherapy and microphlebectomy. All can be effective and have pros and cons. Laser treatment may require multiple sessions and can be painful because the energy has to be increased because these veins are larger than a spider vein. Also effectiveness depends on the wavelength of the laser being used. Sclerotherapy can also be very effective. It can also require multiple treatments. Lastly, microphlebectomy usually only requires one treatment, but you have to make a small puncture to access the vein, which may leave a small visible scar. Discuss all these options with your provider and find out which is best for you. M
