Eyelid Veins - Please Help, What Options? (photo)

ukgentMay 10, 2013
Hi, I am a 34 yr old male and havedeveloped some visible veins on and around my eyelid area, Ive never noticed them before. Are there any health conditions which could cause such development? I am currently on a course of Flucanzole however I dont necessary think this is related, my eyes have felt a slight burning sensation but it is hayfever season of which I suffer. Im feeling terribly depressed about the state of my skin what if any are my treatment options? Thank you all for any input

Thank you for your question. I will not treat veins on the nose if a tan is present, and wait until fall or winter to treat them.  I like using a V-Beam Perfecta to do this.  Usually 3-4 treatments are needed for resolution to be present for 6-12 months. I hope this helps.

These veins in the upper thigh and groin crease extending to the lower abdomen (trunk) can be successfully and safely treated with sclerotherapy. If they are very large, they can be treated with microphlebectomy.

Tanning can cause burning and inflammation and it is not recommended in my practice for 3 months after laser treatment for spider veins and varicose veins or sclerotherapy. It can cause increased hyperpigmentation and telangiectatic matting.
