Will compression hose work to cure spider veins?

No but may prevent: Unfortunately, compression stockings will not cure spider veins. They may help prevent further enlargement of current veins or recurrence of veins. The main treatment for spider veins is sclerotherapy (injection of medication to injury the vein).

No: Studies have shown that compression stockings are actually incapable of doing anything to make spider veins any smaller. If you want to get rid of spider veins, the best way to do it is to have sclerotherapy. Once your veins are treated, compression hose , weight loss, and avoiding standing for long periods might make some difference in their coming back.

Nope....sorry : While compression hose may give one relief of venous insufficiency, including varicose veins and spider veins, they won't cure them. Spider veins can be successfully treated with sclerotherapy, laser, veinwave, etc. But you should realize thay it is very possible that you may develop more spider veins in the future and might need further treatment down the road.

Helps: It does help slow down the progression. Sclerotherapy (injection of a medicine in the vein) is your best option to eradicate them. It works pretty well. Laser is good also. Treatments are simple and although it takes awhile to heal, the results are pretty good.

Need Sclerotherapy: Compression hose do not cure spider veins. They function by helping to decrease the venous pressure and compress the veins. To eradicate spider veins and to help contain them, sclerotherapy would be necessary. Sclerotherapy is a process and usually requires multiple treatments.
