Are there safe treatments for bulging forehead veins?

Its common to have prominent veins on the face and can be treated with in office procedures with minimal discomfort. Recommend a consultation with vascular specialist.

It’s important to distinguish between varicose veins and spider veins when choosing between laser therapy, sclerotherapy, and vein surgery. With two board certified vein specialists, our center uses a combination of visual examination, functional flow measurements, ultrasound, transillumination, and infrared light to map out vein networks prior to therapy. Lasers can be used to treat deep varicose vein insufficiency, vein perforators, and varicose veins. Sclerotherapy is ideal for spider veins and reticular veins. Whereas surgery is reserved for severely incompetent varicose vein segments.

Bulging forehead veins are common problem and they can be treated safely and easily.  This is strictly a cosmetic procedure and is done in the office under local anesthesia.  I use primarily sclerotherapy and usually more than one treatment may be necessary. The reason for their formation is usually genetics and treating the vein does not affect the facial vein drainage in any way.
