Question

Hello I have alot of Green Veins under my Eyes and around my Temples is it safe to microneedle over it? and why do i have visible green veins on my face what could be the reason? thanks

It is generally not recommended to microneedle directly over visible veins, as this can potentially cause damage or irritation to the veins and surrounding tissue. It is best to consult with a licensed dermatologist or aesthetician for personalized advice and treatment options.

As for the cause of visible green veins on the face, this can be due to a variety of factors such as genetics, age, sun exposure, and lifestyle habits such as smoking and alcohol consumption. In some cases, it may be a sign of an underlying medical condition such as rosacea or a vascular disorder. If you are concerned about the appearance of veins on your face, it is recommended to consult with a medical professional for evaluation and treatment options.

Best of luck !

Hi Angelcro, thank you for your question regarding microneedling over visible veins on the face. Yes, you can microneedle over these areas. The needles will not reach or penetrate those veins, as they do not and should not go that deep. Veins tend to show through the skin in people with fair skin color and thinner skin.

I hope this helps!

Once facial veins appear, they can't be repaired. The only way to reduce their appearance is to remove them with professional facial vein treatment. Two treatments that can get rid of facial veins: intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy and laser therapy. Green veins are superficial veins located near the surface of your skin. They appear green instead of red because green has a shorter wavelength than red.
