Throbbing vein (with pulse) appears on forehead after exercise, if I bend down and if I smile. Can it be removed safely? (Photo)

Asked By:redhead24 in Ukiah, CA

More have popped up on the side of my forehead also with pulses. Can arteries be removed safety? Would heavy exercise increase the chance of more veins appearing? Would botox affect it? With sensitive, thin skin, would you recommend it or another treatment to thicken it? The creepy vein photo, demonstrates that even when I slightly smile, the vein pops out. Thank you in advance, Emma
