What can be done about this forehead vein? (Photo)

there is a procedure where people ablate the burn hte vein but that can cause blindness, It is a risk.  lasers can be used but dont work as well and can lead to scarring. I tell people to just leave this alone but excel v can be used with less risk than surgery.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi Elle2127

Laser vein removal works well for veins of all sizes and types. Depending on the types of veins present and the size, some treatments may work better than others depending on what is being addressed. Lasers work great for spider veins and are now considered the gold standard treatment for most cases; however, patients who have certain types of spider veins may be better candidates for sclerotherapy. To learn more about this procedure, please visit our website.

I treat these veins frequently and just treated one yesterday.  I treat these with sclerotherapy and it is an office procedure done in the office under local anesthesia with minimal risks, no down time and excellent cosmetic results.
