I have a vein in my forehead that get super prominent when I smile. It's gotten a lot worse with age. It's becoming more and more visible even when I don't smile. I know vein removal is a common procedure. But is it possible to do it on your forehead? Would removal affect blood flow?

Answer: Vein treatment Thank you for the question. I would recommend consulting a vein specialist in person regarding your treatment options but, in all likelihood, you'd benefit from sclerotherapy. This minimally-invasive treatment uses a sclerosing solution that causes the vein to shrink. Usually the entire treatment takes 2 to 3 sessions to achieve fading of the undesirable veins.

Answer: Forehead veins. I treat forehead veins frequently and with sclerotherapy and sometimes for very large veins with a combination of sclerotherapy and disconnection through microincisions in the hairline. The results are very good but, as with any vein injection, more than one series of injections may be necessary. Blood flow is not affected.
