Your Questions About Treatment For Spider Veins

Mary asks…

Do spider veins cause cellulite?

What kind of symptoms are associated with spider veins, what causes them to become more obvious, and what is the best removal treatment?? … but most importantly — can cellulite grow faster for people spider veins ??? Is it a circulation thing?

rob answers:

Spider veins are tiny blood vessels near the skin’s surface, usually only a few millimeters long, that serve NO purpose. Because they have no purpose, there are no problems with spider vein removal.

This means two things for you:
1) You shouldn’t worry about them allowing cellulite to grow faster; this is simply not the case as one has nothing to do with the other.

2) If you are plagued by spider veins and are hoping to rid yourself of them, you’re in luck. There are several non-surgical procedures that will eliminate them in an affordable and effective manner.

Spider vein removal typically costs around $300, depending on what treatment you choose. Laser spider vein treatments are recommended, but you can talk to your doctor about which specific laser treatment is right for you.

Good Luck!

Robert asks…

Have any of y’all had Sclerotherapy for spider or varicose veins?

Or perhaps you know of someone who has? What were the results? Or maybe have you’ve had an alternative treatment for this that has been effective?

rob answers:

My dad has varicose veins and we found loads of herbal remedies that really helped him. Things like Horse Chestnut Extract. Also there are everyday things that you can do to help like not standing or sitting ALL day. Try and vary it as much as possible, also being over weight of constant constipation can cause the symptoms to worsen.

I really hope you get through this as i know what my dad was like.

Good luck to you

Charles asks…

SPIDER VEINS!!! YUCK!!! Can anyone tell me . . . how I can?

get rid of spider veins without surgery? I’m very self-concious about my body at the moment due to the fact that I have experienced spider veins on my legs for the past year. I really don’t know what to do anymore. I have already had scelerotherapy and it was fine only for the first couple of months. Alot of bruising; therefore, I don’t even know if it made a difference after my treatment because it took me two months to heal completely. I am so over this headache. I’m normally a very chippy, happy-go-lucky person and now this one problem with my body is making me feel so depressed. I don’t have medical insurane and I can no longer afford this. ANY ADVICE WILL BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Sandy asks…

Are These Spider Veins?

I cannot express the extreme displeasure I feel right now. I’ve recently started getting these little, reddish violet veins on the side of my thigh, and on my knee (!) They’re less than an inch long, and they’re almost perfectly straight. They’re fairly far apart and hurt when you poke them. Upon closer inspection, I have little outlines of those same veins ALL. OVER. MY. LEGS. I thought they were fading away, but now I can’t tell. Everyone I’ve asked says they don’t look like spider veins.

I really don’t care what they are. I want them gone. This is extremely embarrasing, and I feel so hideous. Volleyball season is about to start, and these little satans will be extremely visible. I doubt I’ll be able to get any kind of medical treatment for these. Only my older relatives have these. Are they gonna go away?
EDIT: My muscles in my legs have increased in size of late, but not in the areas with the marks.

EDIT: One’s kind of in the shape of a V. They’re very distinct lines.

rob answers:

There is a product that works like nothing else for this problem and it will get rid of them in weeks, but you need to address what is causing the problem rather than just trying to get rid of them. The product is called “Invisivein.”

In order to become healthy and keep this kind of thing from happening again, you need to get some good advice from a nutritional therapist that can help you with diet, lifestyle, and detoxing issues. Doctors have NO CLUE about nutrition and generally give very poor advice in regard to nutrition. Drugs, surgery, etc. Are what they have been taught to use to treat symptoms, but that generally does NOT cure anything. They use some pretty radical techniques to deal with this problem that I do not think you want to endure.

Good luck to you
