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: Excel V Thank you for your question! At our practice we use the Excel V laser to treat periorbital veins. As long as the vein is over a bony area then the laser may be used.

Answer: Vbeam laser can help reduce appearance of this vein. Also recommend doing a vein excision Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

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

Answer: Prominent Under Eye Veins Thank you for sharing your questions and posting your photographs. The only procedure that I’ve seen work for the larger veins is injection of a sclerosing agent directly into the vein which then closes it. See an experienced vascular surgeon for proper guidance and treatment.
