   64. Under-Eye Veins & Dark Circles: What a Laser Surgeon Wants You to Know

   Blue or purple under-eyes that no concealer or eye cream can fix? It might be your veins, not just "dark circles." In this episode of KestyMD Esthetics, double board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained laser surgeon Dr. Kat Kesty breaks down everything you need to know about under-eye vascular laser: what it treats, who it's for, and how to avoid the biggest safety risk. In this episode: - What under-eye vascular laser treats (anything red or blue in the orbital area) - Why you get a blue or purple tint under your eyes: genetics and aging - Who is a good candidate (and the one condition that rules you out) - The lasers used: 1064 vs. 532/595 nm - How many sessions you'll need (the published average is 2.7) - Does it hurt? Numbing, Pronox, and what it actually feels like - Why metal eye shields are non-negotiable, including for laser hair removal lasers - Recovery, downtime, and when you can wear makeup again - How long results last - Risks and complications - What results to expect, and why you'll still look like a human with a human under-eye - Why laser resurfacing and BBL/IPL don't treat under-eye veins - Under-eye filler vs. vascular laser, and whether to combine them - Is it worth it? If your under-eye concern is blue or red, you need a vascular laser. If it's hollowing and contour, filler may be the better fit. A cosmetic consultation with a provider who offers both is the best way to know which you need.
