Question

I’ve always had visible eyelid veins and I’ve always wished they would disappear, haha. I’ve heard about laser treatment on the eyelid and now recently discovered electrosurgery on the eyelids What’s the best option?

It’s important to distinguish between varicose veins and spider veins when choosing between laser therapy, sclerotherapy, and vein surgery. With two board certified vein specialists, our center uses a combination of visual examination, functional flow measurements, ultrasound, transillumination, and infrared light to map out vein networks prior to therapy. Lasers can be used to treat deep varicose vein insufficiency, vein perforators, and varicose veins. Sclerotherapy is ideal for spider veins and reticular veins. Whereas surgery is reserved for severely incompetent varicose vein segments.

I use micro needle RF with the Ellmam surgitron with very good results for eye lid veins.  It is very safe but the drawback is that several treatments may be necessary.
