Ask Me Help Desk - I can see blue veins around my eyes

Hi guys

I'm new to this site and looking for some help.

I'm 25 years old and in the past year I have noticed the skin around my eyes get thinner and now you can all the blue veins around my eyes. Does anyone else have this problem? Can anyone recommend any products to use? Its so embarrasiing when people say to me "how comes I can see your veins..

Please help at a lost as to what to do

Purity, the skin under the eye is very thin. When blood passes through the large veins close to the surface of the skin it can produce a bluish tint. These veins are, however, completely normal. Using creams will improve the appearance of it, but will not get rid of the veins. Only laser treatments can eliminate veins around the eyes. You may want to use a concealer that contain strong pigments to camouflage the unsightly veins.

Hi

Thanks for the advice. Do you know what kind of laser treatments are available to treat veins.

Your welcome, sweetie. Laser treatments are mostly used for treating veins on the face. Laser surgery works by sending very strong bursts of light onto the vein that makes the vein slowly fade and disappear. There are several types of lasers that can be used to treat varicose veins and spider veins on the legs and face. Dermatologists who have lasers would be able to help you. You should call your dermatologist and ask if they can get rid of the veins around your eyes.

I can relate.I have the same problem.I want those veins gone too, I heard about laser treatment but afraid of how much it would cost me. At least I want to know first from people who have undergone laser procedure so I wouldn't be astounded when a dermatologist quotes me.There is no commercially available product that works, trust me because I tried almost every thing there is only laser treatment will help at least according to the dermatologists. Just keep me informed.

I was all set to go to the berman institute in palo alto to have the coolglide laser. Until i found The Private Clinic, Harley Street, London.

So i booked my consulation and they said i needed to see their specialist which cost me £100, I went and saw him later on the same day and he assessed my condition and was extremely adament he could help me!!...He even did the treatment on the same day.

I spent £350 all in all and i couldnt recommend Dr.Gupta enough this guy is truly AMAZING. I have had the treatment done yesterday and there is no signs of these veins today, my mum watched me have the Alterna Laser treatment done and she said as soon as the laser hit them the veins disappeared, It hurts like hell, but the results are truly amazing, im swollen and alittle bit bruised today but its totally worth it, everyone is amazed at how good it looks.

If you dont want these unsightly veins id suggest the trip to London, Creams and concealers dont work your wasting your money, ive tried everything possible, over the counter products, concealers, camoflague makeup etc and nothing helped. I STRONGLY recommend the Alterna laser.

Yes there is a possibility they could come back, but i was willing to take the risk..and what the hell if they come back il go straight back to Dr.Gupta and be zapped again.

I cannot stop looking in the mirror, i love the results!!!

I hope this helps people to make the decision to go ahead and have it done!!!

Hi Litteladydee, How old is Dr. Gupta and did he seem to be experienced with removing veins under the eyes? I´m from Germany and thought to fly out to California to see Dr. Berman but London is much closer so if Dr. Gupta can be highly recommended I would prefer to set an appointment with him instead.

Did Dr. Gupta remove veins under your both eyes and are the veins still gone? Are you still happy with the result?

Thanks a lot in advance for your update. Charlize
