What alternative treatment for spider veins is available?
Hi Spider Veins are a pain in the you-know-what (I guess wherever they are) and sure make us look older! I would be suspicious of any cream or medicine that claimed to eliminate spider veins, since it would mean you are taking something that's somehow eliminating the veins your blood travels through. That would be scary. Spider veins are easily eliminated completely by laser treatment in your doctor's office. It may even be partially or fully covered by your health insurance. Next time you see your doctor, ask her or him what to do about the spider veins, and they will probably recommend you to a dermatologist or other clinician who will eliminate the spider vein by laser cauterizing (burning) the vein so no more blood flows through it. The empty vein will collapse and over time will not be visible, and this in no way affects your health or your blood flow, so don't be concerned. Good luck!
