How to get rid of big veins on eyelid or improve the look of that area? (Photo)

Asked By:Rosieforadvice in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
I have big green bulging veins on my top eyelids. They’re so much more obvious now that my skin has started to thin around those areas, assuming this is to do with ageing (I’m in my 30s). I have them under my eyes too but my top eyelid veins are very unattractive and quite scary at times. I’ve tried covering them with cosmetics but it just makes the appearance worse. I’ve tried 2x sessions of laser and it hasn’t helped. What else can I try to remove them or improve the look of that area?

The posted pictures look like spider veins and sclerotherapy would be the treatment of choice. If the veins are too small to accommodate a 33 gauge needle then topical laser could be tried but laser does not always work well on leg spider veins.
I treat these veins with sclerotherapy and sometimes a combination of sclerotherapy and microneedle radiofrequency using an Ellman Surgitron. This "double injury" technique has very excellent results.
