Hello Doctors, I have these eye bags with veins under them popping out from sneezing lot when I used to have my allergies, my dermatologist recommended to use laser on them. My questions are : 1) What's the risk of using this laser treatment as I'm only 18 ? 2) Are those veins useful to the face or eyes or just excess veins ? 3) What do you recommend doing about this ? P.S: He mentioned that the laser was called R with some numbers after it. Thanks in advance
