Prominent vertical veins on the forehead can cause great distress particularly for women when these veins are more prominent and bulge, looking “masculine” or “angry”. These forehead veins get more prominent when the person smiles, exercises and drinks alcohol.
Onsite ultrasound is a crucial tool used to assess suitability and to prevent confusion between visible vessels and critical arteries. Additionally, important imaging may be organised to exclude any venous hypertension to exclude pathology in the brain that may make the vessels more visible.
While many phlebologists and cosmetic physicians commonly choose sclerotherapy injections to treat forehead veins for their speed and cost-effectiveness, Vein Doctors Group treatment protocol uses endovenous laser ablation. This method is not only safer but also minimizes the risk of complications and recurrence.
