Sclerotherapy for under eye veins - is it safe and effective?

Question

Is this the best treatment for prominent veins appearing under your eyes? Is this safe and better than laser in the perioorbital area? Is one treatment usually enough? I have one prominent vein under each eye.

Hi eyesore,
Absolutely NOT! Sclerotherapy around your eyes is not safe. 
The best treatment would be the long pulse Nd:YAG laser for those blue veins around the eyes.
Hope this helps!
