Blue veins on side of nose - laser or filler an option? (Photo)

cyborgdreamsJan 3, 2017
Hi all, considering filler in my year trough area after a lower bleph de-emphasized some of the vascular blue spots under my eyes. However, an area I don't see discussed as much is the side of the nose - you can see I have a blue vascular spot there too. Can this be fixed with filler or a laser? Let me know what you think.

I would start with a transilluminating light examination followed by ultrasound to diagnose and treat the source of your varicose veins. Most of these procedures are performed in an outpatient setting. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
