Periorbital Vein Removal
What are the causes of periorbital veins?
The skin under your eyes is thinner compared to other parts of the body. As we age, this skin can become more translucent, making the veins underneath more visible. Common causes include the following
- Genetics (prominent periorbital veins may run in the family)
- Sun damage
- Lifestyle (smoking and tanning beds)
- Skin tone (periorbital veins are more visible in people with pale and translucent skin)
What are some of the treatment options available for periorbital veins?
Periorbital veins can be effectively removed with vascular lasers (Excel V laser). Please see the respective treatment subpage for more details.
