What is the best way to remove green/blue veins on my face? I am a 25 year old female. Already tried sclerotherapy (Photo)

Question

The veins that really bug me are the ones on my face. I've always had a green vein under 1 eye & a long green vein down the side of my face. I began treating them with sclerotherapy almost 2 years ago and a few thousand dollars later I can STILL see the veins. How can I get rid of them for good or should I just accept the fact that I can't? I think they have somewhat improved and gotten 'lighter'. The veins keeps me from having an even complexion as they make my skin look darker in that area.

There are a variety of vascular lasers (e.g., Cutera, PDL) that can help reduce the number of superficial blood vessels.  Of note, some vessels may not be good candidates for vascular laser or sclerotherapy (especially important vessels like the temporal artery and vein).  I recommend you contact our clinic and schedule a consultation visit so we can clinically assess the vessels you are desiring to have treated so we can determine which vessels are good candidates for treatment, as well as discuss the expected treatment outcomes and risks/benefits of laser therapy.

there are many vascular lasers that can treat this like EXCEL V, BBL, and Vbeam. I suggest seeing an expert in laser dermatology.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I usually treat blue green facial veins with sclerotherapy with very good results.  The posted picture does not show well.  Any vein has a possibility of recurrence but I am not sure that you were completely treated in the past.
