How can i lessen the appearance of thread veins?

Sclerotherapy: Spider veins can be treated with sclerotherapy, injecting a solution known as a detergent (polidocanol, sotradecol) into the thread veins using a small needle. It would be wise to see a phlebologist in your area by checking www.Phlebology.Org, and you can undergo a proper venous evaluation and treatment for your thread veins.

Sclero or laser.: Spider veins get their name because they look like spider legs. The short answer is that topical laser or sclerotherapy usually works well. The longer answer is that if you have many spider veins and/or combinations of spiders, reticulars and varicose veins then you should first have a venous reflux exam. You should see a vein specialist.
