Many options: The best way to improve the appearance is to get them treated and removed by an experienced vein expert. The treatment depends how significant the vein problems are and whether it is related to underlying saphenous vein reflux. So evaluation starts with an ultrasound. Some people dont want treatment and only want hide the veins with makeup or a sun tan. This may work if you have a few small ones.

See vein specialist.: If you have spider and varicose veins then you should have a full venous evaluation by a vein specialist including a venous duplex ultrasound. This ultrasound will help to determine the source of your problem and help to guide the appropriate treatment.
