An examination will determine whether the blood vessel is an artery or vein. In our office, we use a micro-vein removal techniques to extract the veins and tie them off. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Thank you for your great
question! For small veins, around the eyes and eyelashes, vascular laser treatment is
appropriate. This procedure will not remove your eyelashes. An eye shield is used during the procedure in order to protect your eye.

It would be great if you could post a picture of this 'spider vein around the eye lashes' before recommendations are made as this is a very unusual description or site for spider veins.Once you post one or two high definition pictures, you should get good guidance from vein specialists, dermatologists or plastic surgeons and oculoplastic surgeons who deal with veins on the eyelids and in the periorbital areas.
