What is the best treatment for my broken capillaries in directly in my under-eye area? (Photo)

Question

I got broken capillary in my under-eye area around 2 years ago. With time, this capillary got bigger and more visible. This is how it looks like right now (in the picture). What's the best treatment for remove it without getting any scars, change in skin texture and no risk to my eyesight?

I have personally been treating dilated capillaries (telangiectasias) with simple, quick, inexpensive superficial electrodessication for well over thirty years. No need for relatively inexpensive latest "in" thing laser treatment. Treatment usually takes less than one second per site and the closing off the unwanted vessel is typically seen in the mirror right after treatment. Make sure that you seek consultation with an experienced board certified aesthetic physician and be wary of the heavy marketing out there for this or that relatively expensive "bells and whistles" laser du jour out there. Best of luck and stay safe.

blood vesseles can be treated with vascular lasers. I suggest seeing an expert this is typically quite easy for those laser trained.  At home its best to use eye rollers and eye creams like restorsea eye cream, sente Ilumine and daily retinol like reve skin 1.0 and cosmelan 2.  LED redlight twice weekly helps.  see emeragecosmetics.com where we do free skin care virtual consultations daily.
redness is treated with 
1. vascular lasers (excel v, vbeam, BBL, IPL, Aerolase, yellow laser)
2. Aquagold or micro ampule infusion (botox topically)
3. microsecond yag lasers (laser genesis, Aerolase)
4. proper medical grade skincare (faith, Restorsea, sente) and LED therapy (light stim)
5. non ablative, low level, low density lasers (clear and brilliant)
6. nano fractional RF (venus viva)
see an expert for a full workup.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Under eye veins are very common and I would treat these with microneedle radiofrequency.  There are other options such as topical.
