Is it safe to have blue veins right under eyes removed with laser?

September 17, 2020
Asked By:CallieGeorgina in Cheltenham, GB

I have visible blue veins under both of my eyes due to my pale skin. I was told that treating these veins could cause me to go blind so now I'm worried of getting it treated. However, it bothers me. Is there any way of safely getting them removed? I obviously wouldn't bother if it meant I go blind Many thanks

Tammy Polit, DO says:

You are in luck! Laser hair removal is most successful on light skinned individuals with dark hair. The physician can adjust the energy component of the Yag when treating the coarse hair vs. fine hair for the best results on both.
