Under-Eye Vein Treatment

As we age, our skin becomes thinner and produces less collagen, making seeing blue veins under the eyes more noticeable. Many believe nothing can be done about these visible veins, but that's not true.

YAG Laser For Treatment of Under-Eye Veins

An Nd: YAG laser can successfully treat the under-eye (periorbital veins). The procedure is virtually painless and requires minimal downtime.

Periorbital veins can be visible in both the upper and lower eyelids and can range in color from red to blue or purple. This can make the surrounding area look dark or discolored. The Nd: YAG laser selectively targets the blood inside the veins, leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed. This makes it an ideal method for reducing veins around the eyes and revitalizing your look.

Is There Anything I Need to Do to Before or After YAG Treatments of Under-Eye Veins?

This treatment doesn’t require any preparation, but you should avoid excess sun exposure immediately before treatment. After treatment, you will be given an ice pack to apply to the area. Some redness and swelling can occur at the site, but it usually subsides pretty quickly. Occasionally, patients may get a bruise at the site. If that happens, there is nothing to be done. It will resolve on its own, as with any other bruise.
