How Soon Will the Veins Be Gone?
Periorbital veins tend to respond well and consistently to laser treatment. A single treatment can create notable improvements, but most patients will need 2 sessions for full results. These sessions are separated by about 6 weeks to give the skin time to fully heal.
Periorbital vein removal permanently removes the veins targeted. Once the veins have collapsed, they will not regrow. However, patients may still develop newly visible veins due to factors such as:
- Excess sun exposure
- Increasing skin thinness
- Genetic predisposition
- Hormonal fluctuations
