Painful, bulging, throbbing facial arteries/veins? Treatable? (Photo)

Hi la.deesse.eden

Spider veins can be found on the face, upper thighs, back of the legs, and around the ankles. Anywhere a spider vein exists, laser vein removal can be an appropriate treatment method. To learn more about this procedure, please visit our website.

The facial veins under your eyes can be prominent as the result of a wide number of factors. They include sinus congestion, allergies or other irritation or inflammation, trauma, especially trauma to the head. They are also more prominent if you are fair skinned or through aging and loss of facial fat. The veins right under the eyes sometimes can be treated by very specialized doctors, however, pictures you shared don't show veins that could be treated. Wishing you the best of health, Dr Wright.

The posted pictures do not show the veins very well. The angular vein at the junction of the medial portion of the eye and nose is very difficult to treat and I would recommend leaving that alone. The veins along the lateral portion of your eye probably can be treated by sclerotherapy or microneedle radiofrequency but the pictures are not detailed enough.
