There is probably not too much you can do about it if you do not want medical treatment. Just wear long pants.

Sun exposure can cause spider veins as well. So, it is probably twice as good to wear long pants.

Sclerotherapy is a treatment that dermatologists use to get rid of these types of veins. It is relatively pain-free. They just inject a chemical into the vein. In a few weeks it disappears. You can find a dermatologist in your area here: http://www.moredermatologists.com/
But, that definitely is “medical treatment”.

I have not yet done IPL though I am planning soon. I have done v-beam many many times (this is more specific for red lesions, rosacea, or visible veins) but the laser therapies are worth every penny and then some as far as I am concerned. It does alot more than just treat spider veins. Also increases collagen production, diminishes fine lines and wrinkles and brown spots. They say 5-6 sessions for maximum benefit then maintenance every so often. Yes, it does hurt. Feels like you are being snapped with little rubber bands. I dont care though, it works that well. Some places put numbing cream on, but i think that it is bearable

rob answers:

I would get support stocking they come up to your knees. They are $4.00 a pair at Wal-mart. They will help with the pain. They are for bad circulation. Good luck

rob answers:

There is a product that works like nothing else for this problem and it will get rid of them in weeks, but you need to address what is causing the problem rather than just trying to get rid of them. The product is called “Invisivein.”

In order to become healthy and keep this kind of thing from happening again, you need to get some good advice from a nutritional therapist that can help you with diet, lifestyle, and detoxing issues. Doctors have NO CLUE about nutrition and generally give very poor advice in regard to nutrition. Drugs, surgery, etc. Are what they have been taught to use to treat symptoms, but that generally does NOT cure anything. They use some pretty radical techniques to deal with this problem that I do not think you want to endure.

Good luck to you

Spider veins are tiny blood vessels near the skin’s surface, usually only a few millimeters long, that serve NO purpose. Because they have no purpose, there are no problems with spider vein removal.

This means two things for you:
1) You shouldn’t worry about them allowing cellulite to grow faster; this is simply not the case as one has nothing to do with the other.

2) If you are plagued by spider veins and are hoping to rid yourself of them, you’re in luck. There are several non-surgical procedures that will eliminate them in an affordable and effective manner.

Spider vein removal typically costs around $300, depending on what treatment you choose. Laser spider vein treatments are recommended, but you can talk to your doctor about which specific laser treatment is right for you. You can find doctors near you and set up free consults at healthyskinportal.com.

Good Luck!

Unfortunately, it’s mostly genetic. You can reduce the appearance of new veins by increasing your activity level, as that will help improve venous flow out of your legs and slow down the process.

I would try working out your legs more, even though it might seem like it will make them pop out even more. If your work out your legs, the skin will get tighter and it will be harder for the veins to stick out<3

rob answers:

You can go to the doctor and they inject a saline solution right into the area where they occur. It is a temporary measure but if you wish them hidden for the summer it may help. Ride a stationary bike, that helps circulation. Sitting with your legs up may feel good after a long day at work but you still need the blood pumping the blood a little more energetically after the abuse we put them through a long day.

The best way to get rid of spider veins is laser because they have the most research.

There is another condition called LIvedo Reticulitis This too is purple in color, but can be more wide spread.

This is an autoimmune Disease and Hormones such as birth control can trigger this. Check out photos of Spider veins and compare to pictures of Livedo reticulitis. If you have spider veins, I would not be too concerned. If you have Livedo reticulitis you need blood work done.http://www.hughes-syndrome.org/index.htm

rob answers:

You have to talk to a skin doctor to treat spider veins. The doctor will inject a chemical into the vein to kill it.

rob answers:

Not necessarily…

Spider veins are hereditary (runs in the family) so if your parents have spider/varicose veins you are more likely to get them as well.

There are few things you can do to help the small spider veins you have now not get bigger: Exercise – getting your blood pumping actually helps. Avoid sitting or standing for long periods of time. You can also buy compression stockings to wear – they help the blood flow and prevent the veins from getting worse.

rob answers:

It does work and the process is such that each vein is injected with a solution that destroys the veins. Generally you are looking at one session costing $250 and lasting 30-45 minutes. The number of sessions is dependent on the number of veins. You also may be a candidate for laser vein treatments which costs a bit more but can treat a larger area in each sitting.

rob answers:

Go to a doctor, they will have a solution, but i suggest that you stretch and excercise more.

rob answers:

Telangiectasias (spider veins) are often treated with laser or IPL (intense pulsed light) therapy. There have been medication based treatments available for over 50 years. A Sclerosant medication is injected into the diseased vein so it hardens and eventually shrinks away.
Http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider_veins

rob answers:

It is either sclerotherapy (the injection technique) or Laser removal. The better choice is dependent on the color, depth and size of the veins.

rob answers:

There are a few different treatments for spider veins. This first is Sclerotherapy. Sclerotherapy involves, ‘injections of a sclerosing solution to dissolve and eliminate’ your spider veins. This has been known to reduce or eliminate the cramping, burning, swelling, and aching that sometimes accompanies spider veins. The price for Sclerotherapy ranges from $150-$400 per treatment, and only a licensed professional will be able to tell you how many treatments you may need.

Another effective treatment is laser spider vein removal. The lasers work by targeting the blood vessels in spider veins. The surrounding tissue remains intact as the capillaries absorb the energy and are eliminated. The resulting dead vein is harmlessly absorbed back into your body. Laser Spider vein removal generally costs between $350-$500 per treatment and like Sclerotherapy only a licensed professional will be able to tell you how many treatments you may need.

rob answers:

How about just embracing the fact that you have a spider vein and don’t worry about it? I don’t have the hottest legs in the world either, but I will still wear shorts.

rob answers:

The key question is “Is the surgery medically necessary?”

If your doctor’s records show that he has determined the surgery to be medically necessary, you should have no trouble getting it taken care of by the insurance company. Relief of pain is normally a valid medical necessity. Improved appearance in that case would be an extra benefit of the surgery but would not cause rejection of the coverage due to cosmetic effect.

Once you have gotten your doctor’s determination, seek pre-approval from the insurance company before the surgery to avoid an unpleasant surprise. They may want some sort of extra evidence of the medical need for surgery that would be difficult or impossible to obtain if you have already had the surgery.

Best wishes.

Spider Vein Treatment (Sclerotherapy)

It is estimated that almost three-quarters of all adult women have spider veins – red, blue or purple thread-like lines just under the skin. The condition is associated with increased pressure to the veins.

Since the most common causes are the normal monthly hormonal fluctuations of the female cycle and pregnancy, spider veins occur most often in women, and they often first appear during pregnancy. Other contributing factors include injuries, medications that affect hormones, and a family history of spider veins. Although it is less common, men can develop spider veins as well. The condition usually appears after age 30, although it can sometimes develop as early as the teen years.

Spider veins, or “starbursts,” are so named because the series of veins often radiates out from a central point, reminiscent of the shape of a spider. They may also appear as fine, separate lines, a web-like maze, or as “branches” from a single “tree trunk.” They can develop on any part of the body, including the face, but most often appear on the thighs, calves, or ankles.

Spider veins are caused by abnormal blood flow and weakening of the blood vessel wall in the affected veins. Any condition or activity that puts pressure on the veins — such as gaining weight, and sitting or standing for long periods of time — can contribute to their development.

While unsightliness is the most common reason for removal, spider veins may also be removed to alleviate problems with restless legs, aching, burning, and/or cramps. Spider veins are most often treated with sclerotherapy, in which a saline or chemical solution that is injected into the vein, irritating the lining and causing the vein to collapse and disappear.

In some cases, laser treatment may be used either alone or in combination with sclerotherapy. If you are considering sclerotherapy, the following information will provide you with a good introduction to the procedure. For more detailed information about how this procedure may help you, we recommend that you consult a plastic surgeon who is board certified or has completed a residency program that includes instruction in this procedure.

Hi Carolina,

crimson colored spider veins are also signs of varicose veins. Although they might appear anywhere in the body, legs are where they usually appear apart from esophagus.

Damaged valves in the veins allow the blood to flow back and collect in the veins, thus stretching the veins till they finally loose their elasticity. This then ends their ability to contract and come back to the original shape.

In severe cases, veins become extremely enlarged, blood clots form, skin color changes on the affected area and ulcers (vein ulcers) may develop due to rupturing. This calls for immediate medical attention. 6 out of 10 people in America alone have some or the other kind of varicose veins.

Many herbal and homeopathic remedies have been used to promote circulation, and keep a healthy flow of blood pumping through the body and serve as a natural remedy for varicose veins. Astragalus membranaceous is a well-known revitalizing herb used for boosting circulation, while Ruscus acluteatus is known extensively in Europe to improve circulation and relieve pain and discomfort associated with leg conditions thus serving as a natural remedy for varicose veins.

Anther natural remedy for varicose veins includes homeopathic ingredients such as Rhus tox, Zincum metallicum and Magnesium phosphate all help to promote health in the lower limbs and keep lymph and blood flowing freely. Skin health can be promoted through homeopathic ingredients such as Natrium muriaticum, Kalium muriaticum and Kalium sulphate to distribute oxygen throughout the body and to each individual cell and keep all cell membranes healthy.

By providing essential oxygen to inflamed or infected cells, these ingredients effectively assists healing, reduces inflammation and removes infected or dead cells.

The easiest thing to do is go to a docter and they will just give u a shot and inject something into the veins that will make them be not visible and essentially shrivel up but it apparently just feels like getting a shot..

rob answers:

My mom had them and got that sclerotherapy treatment. Before she had it, she was embarrassed to wear bathing suits and shorts. The shots definitely helped.

rob answers:

It is a highly concentrated sodium chloride (NaCl) solution. The doctor used an extremely small needle (like a 30g) to inject it just below the skin surface into the vessel. The strong saline solution basically dissolves/collapses or obliterates the superficial vein. It will turn brown and disappear over a number of days/weeks. You will most likely be instructed to wear “ted-hose” (support stockings) for a few weeks and to avaoid direct sunlight to minimize scarring. Sclerotherapy takes multiple office visits or treatments to see good results. So be patient.

Don’t wash your feet when you’re tired. Sit down when you can. Standing for a long period of time usually causes these veins to appear. Try raising both of your legs up (flat) on a wall. Stay in that position for 5 mins. This can prevent those veins to appear.

rob answers:

I have read about saline injections. A spider vein is just a tiny vein that has been stretched out. The saline shrinks it back. Also read about taking an oral supplement called horse chestnut for leg vein health. Or you could cover them with leg makeup, air brush stockings, basically flesh colored spray on.

They only like to do it in the winter, cause they don’t want you to get sun…something about dark spots developing where they treat. Good luck oh by the way, my parents don’t have them.

Hi there,

I have had laser therapy for spider veins and it was 100% effective.

I had developed themover the years because of severe flushing and from having very sensitve skin.

I was a little worried at first because I feared it could go wrong or damage my delicate skin.

The results are immediate and only take a week to heal and worth every penny.

One thing I would recommend though is sea buckthorn oil. My face swelled up quite badly after the treatment even though the beautician said it was very rare to happen. Three days later the swelling was still getting worse. I remembered what I’d read about sea buckthorne oil being apparrently wonderful for burns and encouraging accellerated skiin recovery etc.

Amazingly the blister like swellings disappearred an hour after I applied it the oil my face!! I use it nightly now and my skin has never been so good – no flushing and no embarrassing bright red blobs

I buy my sea buckthorn here … Because it’s undlited, all the other places I found are dilutions of 1 or 2 % in a base carrier oil and charge dumb prices!

I’d definitely recommend getting laser therapy.

Good luck

Ret340, there’re several kinds of laser treatments for your broken capillaries, including these:

Treatment can be attempted with a laser that specifically targets vascular lesions, including long-pulse Nd:YAG (532 nm), long-pulse frequency-doubled Nd:YAG (1064 nm), or flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser (585 nm).

Depending on where you live and how many treatments you need (sometimes you need to go back two or three times), it can run you around $2K. (I’m taking here in Manhattan. If you’re somewhere more rural, you’re likely to get off much more easily.)

I had my own telangiectasia treated via electrocautery (it’s what it sounds like: the dermatologist comes at you with a needle and zaps it. There’s a stinging that makes your eyes water, and a slight burning smell.) MAJORLY cheaper. I’ve never done the laser, but I’ll bet it’s a lot easier and quicker, as they essentially pass a light over your face, whereas with the needle, the doctor must hunt down and zap each individual mark. Some day, when I next need my capillaries zapped, I’ll be going the laser route (though I’ll probablygo visit my little sister in Vermont to get it done, where I expect it’ll be massively less expensive!)

Good luck to you; if you have it done, I hope you’re happy with it!

rob answers:

This particular guinea pig got her first broken veins on her cheeks at the age of 10, when the vile nuns at her boarding school hurled everybody out of doors to play lacrosse on the clifftops in the January gales. Over the years they’ve got worse, and more have come along from random activities like zapping blackheads too violently. Ever done that and watched, horrified, as a red vein zigzags down the side of your nose? Awful.There are, says the lovely Marie Duckett, many factors that contribute to broken veins: baths and steam rooms that are too hot; hot food; extreme weather; knee-high tights; trauma; pregnancy; crossing your legs for prolonged periods and the seat edge of a chair can bring them out at the back of your knees. And, of course, sun damage.The most common ones Marie deals with are on the face and chest, and the system she operates is Veinwave, which entails injecting a current of heat that coagulates the vein and causes it to collapse; it is then absorbed by the body.I have to tell you this is far from painless – particularly round the nose – but a liberal application of local anaesthetic cream does help, as does squeezing the clinic’s handy pink plastic pig.It’s not a good idea to go anywhere glamorous straight afterwards, and no violent exercise for 24 hours, but you can disguise the red dots with make-up for the next few days and after a couple of weeks, hey presto, no veins! It does make a bare summer-face look much more possible.

I had two sessions; costs start at £250 per treatment.

U cant do anything u can get lasers to color your skin but there is nothing that u can do realy, all that pills or lotions do is give u false hope that it will go away or introduce a die to the skin

rob answers:

Some simple things to do are:
Not crossing your legs when sitting.
Elevate your legs as much as possible when relaxing.
If you have to stand or sit for long periods of time, make sure you shift your weight every so often from leg-to-leg. Support tights also help, but make sure your lower clothing is not too tight. A low-salt, high fiber diet can also help. These remedies are however more preventative than treatment and outside of surgery there really isn’t too much to be done.

rob answers:

Thats when mine started. Standing on a hard surface for long amounts of time can make them appear. (like a job like running a register, etc…) Good luck. They suck, huh?

rob answers:

As far as I know they can only be removed as a medical procedure. Try using make up or base to cover them up until you’re able to afford it. A good tan should make them less noticeable as well. I don’t think it’s a very expensive procedure. I think the visit to the dermatologist would cost more.

rob answers:

I think lipoderm is good.

rob answers:

Drink lots of water..don’t cross your legs as much- you loose circulation in your legs..

rob answers:

Spider veins are a little similar to varicose veins that you see in the legs and are caused by vaulty veins. Normally veins have valves in them to prevent the back flow of blood away from the heart. Sometimes these valves fail leading to varicose veins and possibly tissue edema (swelling).

On the face, spider veins are typically caused by excess sun exposure. Too much sun can cause permanent dilation of the veins which is what you see. Also as you get older your skin gets progressively thinner allowing veins to be seen. Too much sun can accelerate this as well.

The only definitive way to get rid of these veins is the laser treatments that you’re trying to avoid. The laser heats up the veins causing them to seal off and become invisible. There aren’t any creams that I am aware of that reliably get rid of these.

I hope this helps

I know there are aesthetic treatments, administered by doctors, which can permanently cure this…

Disregard this paragraph (and the next) if the veins are not close to the surface of your skin: If you don’t mind a little greece, or if you do this at night, and in the morning and then wipe it off: Hemorrhoid ointment. (sorry). It constricts the veins, so they would be much smaller, and less noticeable. It would stop the veins from spreading, or making the red strips cover more of your cheeks. When you are older you may also want to use it for the dark circles under your eyes. Just be sure to keep it out of mouth, nose, eyes, ears, etc. (It burns if it gets into the eyes.)

Ice may very temporarily help… Or it will turn your cheek red. Try it once to see if it would help for photos or something.
————————————————————

I wash my face with milk, every now and then, to even my skin tone. It might help you, if you are not to dark (It will leave your skin lighter than you started) It’s works sort of like paint for those with clear skin. Use half and half the first time, as it is also very moisturising and healthy. Leave it on for a few minutes before rubbing it off, and then rinsing (It will take dead skin cells off wile you rub.) If you have oily skin, or acne, try regular milk.

If the veins are very dark, the milk will not cover them. You may be better off darkening the rest of your skin. A tan? A fake tan? (I like to wash my face with coffee grounds for the best fake tan. Instant coffee works well too.) Just gently rub the grounds into your skin, which will be dyed a remarkably skin-like color. The longer you rub, the darker you’ll get.

If you have very clear skin, I suggest using the milk first (to make your skin opaque) AND the fake tan (I always suggest the coffee) (the tan will darken over the milk opaque) rinse and see your results.

Good luck.

I have Rosacea and theres no cure for it. Although my redness and symptoms subside when I use avon alternatives. You should try it. It might help you and if it helps it will probably be better than the treatments you get once a year. Every time you buy the Alternatives system, the product amount lasts for 3 months. Thats approx. $160.00/yr. I don’t know if that is cheaper than what you are paying now but look into it. Just visit Avon.com and search for the Avon Alternatives system and you can talk to a rep even to find out which of the the products on that line will be best for your skin type.

Because its a growth, u need to monitor it once u have gone to the doc to have it tested to see if its the dangerous type…when i say moitor, i mean size and once a year get it examined by ur doc…but like i said, we cant tell u just by looking at it because there are a few things it can be because the appearance is so similar in appearance… Mine has the same appearance and its under the eye like urs too, though mine is on the outer corner rather than the inner corner…usually the grows are the most common among caucasians…so basically u must put sunblock/sunscreen on from now on k…get it checked out by ur doc so that they can test it to see if its dangerous or not…usually the kind we have that are perfectly round and just one color are not dangerous, but its safer to just go and get that done to see what it is exactly… Since like i said, a lot few types of skin growths due to sun exposure can look a lot alike and it can be dangerous or not at all.

There is such a thing called spider veins.

Spider veins are similar to varicose veins, but they are smaller. They are often red or blue and are closer to the surface of the skin than varicose veins. They can look like tree branches or spider webs with their short jagged lines. Spider veins can be found on the legs and face. They can cover either a very small or very large area of skin.

Besides a physical exam, your doctor can take x-rays or ultrasound pictures of the vein to find the cause and severity of the problem. You may want to speak with a doctor who specializes in vein diseases or phlebology. Talk to your doctor about what treatment options are best for your condition and lifestyle. Not all cases of varicose veins are the same.

rob answers:

Buttercup – What you are describing sounds like the very thin “spider veins.” Spider veins, also known as road-map veins, are very tiny superficial blood vessels that increase in size over time and commonly occur on the legs. Women, people who have a blood relative with the condition and workers who stand regularly in their jobs are more susceptible to spider veins.
Heredity accounts for 80 percent of people who develop spider veins.
Tanning does not hide the appearance of spider veins. In fact, excessive sun exposure can cause spider veins since harmful ultraviolet light breaks down collagen, which composes the walls of spider veins, and can cause thinning and spreading of the veins.
Crossing your legs does not cause spider veins.
Gaining a lot of weight does not cause spider veins. In fact, weight loss can make a person more prone to spider veins, as it causes the skin to collapse and reveal what is underneath.
Vitamin supplements do not prevent spider veins.
Sclerotherapy is considered the gold standard in treating people with spider veins. This procedure allows large areas of the veins to be treated efficiently with hair-thin needles containing a sclerosing solution, which irritates the lining of the vessel causing it to swell, stick together and the blood to clot. In a matter of weeks, the vessel turns into scar tissue that eventually fades and becomes barely noticeable.

How about looking at the policy of schools taking weights and heights of students (annually), sending them to state health dept, and then reporting it back to parents?

In Ohio many schools are opting out of dong this. But I think that parents need to know that theri kids are at or above weight and maybe correctivon needs to be taken.

It would be a time to educate paretns and older students.
After all we have blinders about our true body image and under estimate how much we weigh.

This would alos allow health depts to target schools with very high rates of obesity and learn fromt he scholls that have low obesity rates.

Well have a look what edgar cayce had to say on them google search

here is something to get you started
Magnesium

Magnesium is a mineral needed by every cell of your body. About half of your body’s magnesium stores are found inside cells of body tissues and organs, and half are combined with calcium and phosphorus in bone. Only 1 percent of the magnesium in your body is found in blood. Your body works very hard to keep blood levels of magnesium constant

According to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (1977) there have been more than 50 studies, in nine countries, that have indicated an inverse relationship between water hardness and mortality from cardiovascular disease. That is, people who drink water that is deficient in magnesium and calcium generally appear more susceptible to this disease. The U.S. National Academy of Sciences has estimated that a nation-wide initiative to add calcium and magnesium to soft water might reduce the annual cardiovascular death rate by 150,000 in the United States, ”

. However, the literature indicates that deficiencies may exist in both third world and industrialized nations and may influence cardiac and vascular diseases, diabetes, bone deterioration, renal failure, hypothyroidism, and stress. Because Mg in certain forms is not easily absorbed and no classical symptoms exist, the problem of Mg deficiency is readily masked, especially in high risk groups such as diabetics, alcoholics, those taking hypertension medication, and some athletes. The current Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for the US is 6 mg/Kg/day, which translates to 420 mg for a 70 Kg man. The estimated intake in the US is 300 mg/day. Studies show that as much as 3 times this amount may be needed by the general population and especially by those predisposed to cardiac disease states. This report summarizes recent research on Mg in human diets and the results of Mg deficiencies.

Many diseases are related to magnesium deficiency, and may be prevented or treated with magnesium-rich water:
Aggressive Behavior Alcoholism Amytrophic Lateral Sclerosis Arrhythmia Asthma Cancer Cerebral Palsy
Cerebrovascular Chronic Fatigue Cluster Headaches Constipation Diabetes Fibromyalgia
Fluoride Toxicity Head Injuries Heart-Related Conditions HIV Hypertension Kidney Stones
Migraine Multiple Sclerosis Osteoporosis Pregnancy-related problems Premenstrual Syndrome

To meet the new RDA’s for Mg established Sept. 1999 by the NAS 275 , reduce disease, and prevent violence, it is proposed that juvenile delinquents and inmates be switched to naturally magnesium-rich hard-water sources containing at least 100 mg/L or fortify tap-water supplies of corrections facilities to that level with magnesium bi-carbonate (which tastes like good, sweet hard water). If inmates consumed 1.5 liters of Mg-rich water per day, they would be getting 150 mg/day from water, covering the shortfall for all non-pregnant juveniles and inmates.

Some Drugs cause loss of body magnesium:

Why depend on Mg-in-water instead of Mg in food?
There is no established way of fortifying foods with magnesium without adversely affecting texture or flavor. Magnesium in water is 30% more bio-available than Mg in food. The food supply has been steadily becoming
Explanations for the decline of magnesium in the American diet include more food processing, soil-exhaustion the FDA’s destruction of the American mineral water industry in the 1930′s, and the development of softer tap water reservoirs to replace the hard water of streams and wells.
Numerous studies show a relationship between magnesium intake and asthma symptoms and it is suggested that intakes of magnesium in the general population are deficient.
Extensive metabolic balance studies done by the USDA Research Service showed that the ratio of dietary calcium to magnesium that best maintained equilibrium (i.e., output equaling intake) was 2:1 (Hathaway, 1962).
Patents with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome are often found to be low in Mg. Supplementation with malic acid and magnesium is a common treatment for fibromyalgia.

Tight, painful muscles are a primary factor in fibromyalgia.
Magnesium is needed to release muscle contractions. Without Mg, tensed muscles stay in a contracted state.
Mg supplementation is an established treatment for muscle cramps, as well as an established treatment for fibromyalgia.
Mg is a needed co-factor for vitamin D utilization, meaning that a lack of Mg can cause vitamin D to be unavailable to the body. The result is that a Mg deficit could, in turn, cause vitamin D deficiency symptoms. Magnesium supplementation is sometimes needed to treat rickets that have not been responsive to vitamin D or calcium treatment.

Try Boots they do light support knee highs in 15 denier and opaque styles,

and further to the answer before me I do not think that you are Pervert and as your girlfriend is a nurse she probably does not have the time to get them for you

Any way if you need to wear them you will have to get used to buying them for yourself.

rob answers:

I don’t think so. I have heard that Vitamin E helps keep new ones from forming, though, so you might shell out 6 bucks for some Vitamin E, because if you have them now then you will no doubt get more later.

You may be able to make them less obvious by using a sunless tanner. It won’t hide them completely, but they won’t stand out quite as much.

I hope this helps a little.

There are no other effect way besides laser.

Glycolic acid and retinoid or retinol can thicken the skin, but if your spider veins are prominent, such topical treatments may be of little use.

Just save your money and get laser.

Don’t know the answer. Could you tell me if your insurance paid for it? I need that done. And yes, it’s need, not want. Thanks.

They now have a lasar treatment, but the individual saline solution is still the standard, with good results. On the prevention tip, try wearing Teds, these are embolism stocking that go up to your knees and help with varicose and spider veins, especially if you are on your feet alot.
