I have protruding veins on my forehead when I smile. What can be done about them?

Question

They are quite obvious and seem to be getting worse and that more are forming. What can be done about them? I also have many blue veins around my eyes that are not to pretty either. Is there a safe treatment for these veins?

William Groff, DO · Answer

Laser treatments such as the CoolTouch Varia can work very well for facial veins. I’ve performed many successful treatments on blue veins around the eyes and temples at my practice. Please visit a board-certified dermatologist with experience treating veins on the face for an in-person consultation and personalized treatment plan.

John Landi, MD · Answer

There are several options to treat forehead and veins around eyes including laser, sclerotherapy, removal through tiny incisions and sometimes fine needle RF.  The treatment depends on the size of the veins, their location and the experience of the treating physician.
