These paired photographs illustrate one clinical observation. Lighting, camera angle and skin position can affect the comparison; the photographs do not establish the time since treatment or the absence of complications.
This article concerns veins visible through under-eye or eyelid skin. Vascular laser treatment may be considered to reduce the visibility of selected superficial veins. A clinician assesses whether treatment is suitable after examination; complete removal and the same outcome for everyone cannot be guaranteed.
Laser energy can also affect surrounding tissue. Possible adverse effects include pain, redness, swelling, bruising, burns, pigment changes, scarring and eye injury. Eye protection is selected for the device and treatment site; simply closing the eyes is insufficient. A visible vein and swelling may have different causes, so reduced puffiness cannot be promised as a routine result of vein treatment.
Dr Alexander Uskov assesses the treatment plan individually. Different vascular lasers, combinations of methods when indicated and other suitable options may be considered. Consultation also covers whether any treatment is needed, the expected benefit and recovery.
