Nd:YAG laser was unsuccessful on my periorbital veins. How do I get rid of them?

November 11, 2022
Asked By:c62411 in Oakland, California

I wasted a bunch of money on Excel V sessions which did nothing for my large periorbital veins. Where do I go from here? Is sclerotherapy safe in this area (I’ve heard mixed answers about it)? Would a microphlebectomy be better? I’m also having trouble finding doctors who treat this area so any recommendations in the San Diego & Bay Area would be appreciated. My skin also develops melasma on top of them & makes them look even darker & they're impossible to cover. Thank you.

Do these veins look like a medical concern? (Photo)
Brian Heeringa, MD, FACS says:

The veins pictured are reticular veins. They are of no medical concern. If desired, those veins can be treated for cosmetic purposes with sclerotherapy but if they don't bother you, they don't need to be treated.

33 y/o female with prominent veins in the arms and hands - Are there options to minimize their appearance?
Thomas Wright, MD says:

Low body fat and aging both make your veins more prominent. We often treat hand veins with sclerotherapy, which removes them. However, we don't recommend treating or removing veins from your arms as they are needed for blood draws and medical procedures.
