Your Questions About Treatment For Spider Veins

Paul asks…
I have spider veins on the back of my knees and top of my right thigh?
I have diagnosed it as spider veins and my parents agree. I am only 16 (female), is this normal?
I have had them for a few months but not really thought about them until now.
They arent very big, and the thigh ones are scattered, but noticable and red.
I think the cause is that i tend to sit down alot, at the computer, on the sofa etc. However i excersise daily and they tend to fade(but not completely go) after not sitting down for a while.
There is a treatment but i dont think my case is serious enough.
Please dont tell me to go to a doctor because a) i know what has caused it
b) we are about to go on holiday and there is no time to book an appointment, i will afterwards
So my question is, is this normal for a 16 year old?
And how am i supposed to stop sitting down for hours? I need to sit at the computer for schoolwork and i have a hobby of playing computer games etc. as teenagers do.

I’m 16 and have pretty much the exact same thing,probably worse though ’cause mine are pretty noticeable.Try using bio-oil,it’s really good and fades them if you use it over time

John asks…
Have any of you had your spider veins treated?
I’m a mother of 4, and through out my pregnancies, I’ve gotten more and more spider veins on my upper thighs. I’m thinking about having them treated.
I was wondering if you have gone through treatment, could you please answer some questions I have?
Was it painful? Did you notice a difference? How long did it take to notice a difference? Was it expensive? How many times did you need to be treated? In the end, was it worth it?
Looking at some of the web-sites for the clinics in my area have testimonials, they all sound great – but you never know if someone is making them up or not. I thought I would probably get more “real” answers from all of you.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Have you ever considered a natural remedy?
I would like you to look up Horse chestnut. I have been helping people with that same problem with this natural remedy. Magnesium will help with some nighttime discomfort. Arnica cream will help with the bruising.

Carol asks…
Spider veins and cellulite at a young age?
I am only 21, and I have a lot of cellulite on my bum/legs, and tons of spider veins on the backs of my knee, hip, feet and eyelids. It is a constant thought in my head, a constant disgust when I look in the mirror, and it’s just hopeless to me, even more so because I’m so young and I eat right and exercise. Sometimes I’m even afraid to go to bed, fearing that I’ll wake up with worse spider veins/cellulite. :/ It’s ruining my life.
Am I completely abnormal for having it so early? I feel so ashamed.. it actually makes me nauseated when I look in the mirror. I want to wear a giant cloak to hide my body, even from myself.
No money to pay for treatments either.
I want to know… is there anyone else here that has spider veins and cellulite at a young age? Especially spider veins.. It’s uncommon for younger people I heard…

Hi! The spider veins is just something you have to learn to live with. My sister has them on her legs and she is only 17. She has found that if she tans it’s less noticeable, maybe you should lay out. Also the cellulite is hard to get rid of but it is possible! I have cellulite on my legs and stomach from having kids and gaining weight. Ita slowly but surely going away you just have to work your legs out alot. Jumping jacks, riding a bike or just walking around the block! Good luck and don’t be so hard on your self
