What procedure would be recommended to remove this periorbital vein? I am looking for a doctor in Arizona (Photo)

moh666Jun 30, 2018
I was told sclerotherapy would be my best option, but I have heard that it can cause blood clots leading to a stroke. I have read a research article which also talked about patients having TED two weeks following the procedure. Is it even safe? Also, what should the sclerosing agent be? Can it be removed by laser? I am looking for a facility in Arizona that can remove this vein. Thank you.
