I have very large blue veins under my eyes that fall directly along my cheekbone. I have had two cool touch Yag 1064NM treatments done along the veins along with one pulse dye laser. My veins were gone COMPLETELY for about a week. Once the swelling went down they were visible again. Should I continue with laser treatments? Should I consider a filler under the eyes since the veins and purple muscle is nearly invisible with swelling? Should I consider something like PRP in this area?
