Help...Spider Veins

[Denicelpz]

Hello guys my question is do any of you guys know of a really,really,really good spider vein cream,gel,lotion or potion that would get rid of them for good Please Help Thanks

 

[LVA]

i know that Vit K works great. but i want to know a good brand of product too. My mom has realli pale skin and she asked me about this .

 

[Jennifer]

i realy don't think anything except surgery or something. i do know, though, on myself, when i lost weight, most of it came off. the others were just less noticeable!

 

[kittii]

hmm this is a very good question i my self have been wondering what to do to make them go away. Does anyone know what causes them even? I have had some on my legs for as long as i can remember and im only 19 and 106 pounds (someone mentioned weight) I dont think that is the reason as im not a big person and i actually have very nice healthy skin. Anyone know?

When you say "spider vein", what do you mean? Are you talking abour telangectasias or varices? Could you post a pic?

i showed my mom this thread acutally. i have a feeling i will get the same thing too though. awwww gotta love genetics.

From what I know, it's primarily genetics and unless there is something new out there that I haven't heard of (entirely possible

) laser surgery is basically the only way to "permanently" get rid of them......and I'm assuming you are talking about the little tiny purple ones.

Telangiectasias is a fancy word for spider veins. They aren't the same as varicose veins. They are purple small veins that are unsightly. Quite a few people have them. I don't think they cause any harm, they are just ugly.

I don't think they cause any harm, they are just ugly. Actually they itselves don't do much harm (the place can only hurt) but they're pointing to us that the blood is having difficulty to return from the legs, which in the future can cause bigger problems, like stasis ulceration on the skin (because of the stop of venous circulation and other factors that i have to read on the book the area is much susceptible to a ulceration that can get deep and infected, as bad as a ulceration that a diabetic who doesn't take care of his/her condition have).
I'm confused, because i thought that spider veins were telangiectasias (because they call in portuguese too - aranhas vasculares).

spider veins ARE teleangiectasies, mostly on legs and the side of feet.the spider veins just show that you are at risk for other vascular problems, but that doesn´t mean that you have to get really worried about that now. spider veins are often a prestage before varicose veins form btw

varicose veins are everywhere in my family so I know I´ll have to deal with that too sooner or later

From what I´ve heard/seen on TV you can get the teleangiectasies treated with laser with pretty good results.

I kinda doubt there is a cream out there that will make them go away completely though.

I have had my leg spider veins zapped by a lazer a few times. They disappear right before your eyes. That was the only way I had found to get rid of them.

Ah , i see

Yeah, laser or surgery are the only options that really treat them , since it's a failure of the legs veins' system that make blood "go up" to the heart

 

[_withoutYou]

laser vein remover. . . not that expensive either, somewhere between 150-300$.

 

[tsims]

i asked my derm about this, and he said he does injections of saline in them, ouch! he said to wait till fall , cuase it makes your legs ugly for a while.

he has done laser genesis on the one by nose on my face thou, and they are almost gone.

Mine was $189 per session in Washington state.

 

[Denicelpz]

Did it hurt or is their any pain while and after the laser treatment?

 

[susanks1]

It does hurt while the lazer is on the vein but stops immediately afterwards.

 

[ForeverPink]

I cannot afford lazer at the present time, maybe later. Does anybody know of a really good cover up cream that I could use to cover mine

 

[Savvy_lover]

i think u cant permanently remove them u need to keep going back for the laser treatment
