No good way: Using compression hose may help to relieve symptoms of venous insufficiency, but doesn't prevent sv. Sclerotherapy is good way to treat sv, and check out www.Phlebology.Org to find phlebologist in your area to advise you.

No home remedies : The effective treatments of spider veins [aka venous telangiectasias] are slcerotherapy and cutaneous laser. Sclerotherapy is the most versatile treatment and usually preferred for all but the smallest of spider veins. Unfortunately these treatments can't be done at home. There are no creams or pill that have been proven to work.

Several options.: There are several options to treat spider veins. The gold standard is sclerotherapy where a solution in injected into the veins to dissolve them. Other options are topical laser, ipl(infrared pulsed light), and fine needle radio frequency such as ellman, veinwave and veingogh. All spider vein treatments usually require several cycles and are well tolerated.

Rid spider veins: Of all the modalities used to treat spider veins, most have to be supplemented by injection sclerotherapy for complete results. Also, they may result in less desirable levels of side effects like pigmentation changes. Injections spread out and reach deeper than many other methods, rendering better outcomes. Other methods have the advantage of not needing compression afterwards, but results trump.

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