Blue vein under the eye. Any suggestions? (photos)

I recently noticed this blue vein under my right eye. I have a bit smaller one under the other eye too. Are there any safe procedures to remove this vein or make it less visible? Thank you

Thank you for your question.Volume loss with aging exposes veins in the hands. Treatments vary and with significant volume loss, an option would be to 'hide' such veins with fillers (Radiesse, fat). Most of the prominent veins need to be removed with microphlebectomy for optimal results....
