Veingogh on my upper eyelids. Any suggestions?

Question

I have visible veins on my upper eyelids and I am going to be them treated with the veingogh system, but I'm worried that this will cause trauma to my eyelids because the skin is so thin. Do I need to worry about scarring?

Many treatments are technique driven. I would make sure your doctor takes all necessary safety precautions. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

I have treated a few eyelids veins with Vein Gogh, there is no risk of scar if the physician do not use too much power. There is swelling for 1-2 days but it disappear pretty quickly. The Vein Gogh probe does not penetrate the skin, it just cauterize the vein from the skin.

This treatment can cause burns scaring or discoloration.    This remains a viable option.   But if these are very fine and still a concern laser may be an option as well.
