Is there any safe treatment for a spider vein on my upper eyelid?

Question

6 months after Quad bleph and active co2 fraxel laser procedure, I developed a red spider vein on my upper eyelid. What can I do to get rid of it? Thank you.

Hello
bemybest3, thank you for your question. I would suggest a physical examination.
This is hard to determine without photographs. But, without seeing photographs
or an examination, I would suggest laser treatment. I would not use the CO2
laser, but rather Nd:YAG laser. This is usually a relative quick and painless
in-office procedure. This form of laser treatment typically only has to be
performed once.

If you
have any questions feel free to contact my office. Good luck.

Sincerely,

J.

Thank you for your question. This will take a surgical intervention, and only have a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Board Certified Oopthamologist do this propcedure so your circulation is adequately assessed before treatment. I hope this helps!

Electosurgery or laser can be used easily to treat veins in this area.  I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist with experience.  Best, Dr. Emer.

If it is indeed a spider vein, I use a hyfercator for this area - it seems to be most effective in this area.

There are several options to treat these veins including VeinWave, VeinGogh, fine needle radio frequency and possible even sclerotherapy.
