I have two prominent veins on my forehead on either side near my temples that look bad. When I workout they are really bad due to blood pumping. This picture was taken right after training. Is there a laser or other treatment that could eliminate or minimize them?

Answer: Bulging vein Thank you for the question! It is rather difficult to fully assess your situation without an in-person exam. Such an exam would be necessary to ensure that your bulging vein is not an artery. If you do have a varicose vein, however, it can be effectively treated with sclerotherapy, which is largely painless and can eliminate your vein in 2-3 sessions. An in-person exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to assess your needs and obtain expert medical advice. Best of luck!

Answer: Treating temporal veins I have good success with both laser and sclerotherapy for veins on the temple. It is extremely important to be certain that the blood vessel is not an artery. A vascular surgeon should be able to tell the difference on exam and/or with a Doppler.
