Once you have them, you cannot get rid of them but we do have some medications that can stimulate the skin to make it cover the varicose veins so that they will not be visible anymore. Varicose veins cannot be treated but can be covered up.

If it doesn’t affect you in any way, then yes.

Hey Elizabeth,

Well sclerotherapy usually involves using chemicals to block of veins that are causing the problem and it can be painful during the procedure, but I’m pretty sure they’ll use anaesthetics to help ease the pain. Vein problems are very common in Americans mainly because of our lifestyle. A lot of people stand for a long time on their job, carry a lot of weight (chubby :S), pregnancy, hereditary causes and it tends to happen with age as well.

Marriza Diega,
To help prevent varicose veins or, if they are already present, you may assist the easing of the symptoms by avoiding prolonged standing or sitting still. Try to put your feet up frequently. Sit or lie down and raise the feet above the level of your hips, for example, use extra pillows under your feet on a bed or footrest. This helps to reduce blood ‘pooling’ in the veins. Moisturising cream can be helpful if the skin is dry, hard or itchy, or if there is eczema. Also, for eczema due to varicose veins, a short course of steroid cream may be needed. Aqueous cream is suitable and inexpensive, or there are other types available and you should ask your pharmacist or doctor for advice on the subject. If you have arterial disease causing poor circulation or peripheral vascular disease in the legs, you will need a medical assessment of your circulation to decide if compression stockings are suitable. If the varicose veins are ulcerated, there are ointments to treat that condition, but as you do not mention that, I shall not discuss this eventuality.

If your veins are very big you are probably looking at surgery. A vein stripping. Only a medical professional can really tell you the pros and cons, after examining you.
Good Luck

Surgery OPD AIIMS..

Rene Heasman answers:

Varicose veins develop when you have faulty valves in your veins and weakened vein walls. Normally, the one-way valves in these veins keep the blood flowing efficiently against gravity up toward the heart. When these valves do not function properly, blood pools, pressure builds up, and the veins become weakened, enlarged, and twisted.

Regular exercise will aid circulation and strengthen vein walls. Your blood pressure will lower as your fitness improves.

If you are prone to varicose veins you will still get them. Probably not as bad. If you have them already it won’t get rid of them

Rene Heasman answers:

In layman terms varicose veins is the penalty for verticality gainst gravity, they are common in persons who stands a lot or walks for that matter, ike in case of surgeons like me , bus conductors,watchmen, etc.
So it can be a potential for u too but its not a disease which cant be treated and its not hard and fast that u will get that.

Rene Heasman answers:

Yes, there are a whole lot of treatment options, starting with supportive legwear, through to cutting (“avulsing”) the veins below the knee, and stripping from knee to groin.

Obviously, you would want to avoid surgery unless you were getting a lot of pain, or unwanted skin changes due to the varicosities.

Rene Heasman answers:

Varicose veins runs in my family. One of my older relatives recently underwent Endovenous Laser Therapy for treating varicose veins in her legs. It cost roughly $400+ and the procedure itself is relatively new. However, it is a less invasive treatment option compared to other kinds (like Phlebectomy). The EVLT procedure works in minor-to-moderate cases of varicose veins.

I myself have had to suffer through a variant of those bluish spider veins. I first learned to mask it (using creams like Preparation H and VeneSanar) and am currently undergoing a non-surgical treatment toward a more permanent cure.

Hi!
Varicose veins are such a pain, huh. No wonder vein and pain rhyme. LOL.
Anyways, a great thing to hide them with is a body makeup called Dermablend. They sell it online and even at JcPenney. It’s not that expensive but most of all, it WORKS! Waterproof, sweatproof. I used it while I was pregnant and had a few of those little pesky stretch marks.
If you don’t want to go that route, a heavy concelear set with powder will do but not for as long as the Dermablend.
Luckily, this summer the trend is longer shorts (thank God!) so you can always rock that look too.
Good luck and you’ll look great no matter what you chose!

Rene Heasman answers:

The heat may aggravate the pooling or stagnation of the blood in the dilated veins. This could make the aching worse. There may also be concern that the prominent veins are vulnerable to damage

Rene Heasman answers:

I don’t think it matters. But theoretically, cold water is better, because it causes your surface blood vessels to constrict and blood to pool around your core. Hot water causes your surface blood vessels to expand, so more blood travels through them and they become thicker and more noticeable. Spider veins are also reduced in appearance this way–they are caused by repeated flushing of your skin (that is, repeated dilations of blood vessels at the surface). But this only works for the duration of the shower. You’d be better off taking only cold showers, and using the money you save from the heating costs to pay to get your varicose veins and/or spider veins removed.

Rene Heasman answers:

Depends on how bad they are. I had some little spider
veins, (you could see them but they weren’t raised ),
I had them zapped with a laser and they were less noticeable
or disappeared completely. Go to a doctor or laser center
for a consultation.

Rene Heasman answers:

Saline doesnt work as well as glycerin and sotrdecol injections. Now if you have varicosities you may have an ambulotry phlebectomy. Find a board certified dermatologist who specializes and has expeirence in this feild

Rene Heasman answers:

In the hands of an experienced doctor, endovenous (inside the vein) laser treatment of varicose veins is very effective.

External treatment may improve appearance, but for how long???
