A member asked:
I'm young and seeing deep dark spider vains in my legs often painful, is there any way to stop this or make them disappear? or is it hereditary?

Sclerotherapy: Sclerotherapy (injection of veins with salt and water) will make your veins disappear and help for the pain. Laser therapy might help as well but is more expensive. Support hose/stocking will help for the pain as well. Usually spider veins/varicose veins are hereditary. For prevention, i would recommend: -keeping your weight down. -avoid weight lifting with legs, sun burns/prolonged hot baths.
