Can Vbeam be used to remove veins on the upper eyelids or is the risk of eye injury to high?

Question

Kimberly Butterwick, MD · Answer

I appreciate your concern, but when the Vbeam laser procedure is performed by an experienced, board-certified doctor, this treatment can be both safe and effective on veins around the eye. The Vbeam is adept at targeting the blood inside the visible vein, coagulating the vessel so it collapses and disappears from view. If the veins are on the lower part of the eyelid near the vessels though, they cannot be treated safely. These are best left alone to avoid complications.
I recommend finding a dermatologist with expertise in using this device to see if your particular problem can be treated safely.

When Vbeam is performed by an experienced, board-certified physician, the procedure is both safe and effective in this area. Vbeam is a vascular laser, which means it is designed to target the blood inside the veins, removing the veins without disrupting surrounding skin and tissue. With a qualified doctor performing your treatment, you should see very good results.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Thank you for your questionThe best treatments for capillary issues are vascular lasers such as pulsed dye laser, Excel V, Aerolase, Venus Versa IPL, Laser Genesis or Yellow laser. The settings are determined on a per case basis, so it is best to consult with an expert to determine what will work best for you. We often combine vascular lasers with non-ablative fractional lasers such as Clear + Brilliant or Venus Viva for better results. I would suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer.
