Spider Veins Under Eyes? (photo)

Under eye veins can be treated by 4 methods-laser, microphlebectomy, sclerotherapy or micro needle radio frequency.  Which procedure is best would be determined by the size of the vein and the recommendation of your physician.  Whenever using laser around the eye, an eye protector should be used and the procedure is very safe.  The cost of the procedure varies with the type of vein, amount of veins and the physician performing the procedure.

Lasers- especially the long wave nd:yag laser work very well for blue under eye veins.  Because of the location, eye protection must be worn.  The key to safely performing the procedure is to angle the laser's handpiece away from the eye and pull down the area while treating so that we are treating below the orbital bone and not around the soft area of the eyelid.  Please consult with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who has experience with using lasers in the this area.
