I've got varicose veins. what can i do to have it less visible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a specialist. : Veins can be treated with endovenous ablation, phlebectomy or sclerotherapy. A proper vein specialist (phlebologist) will have you do an ultrasound while standing to determine your best options. Treatments are in-office and usually less than an hour under local anesthetic.
