Spider Veins
Spider Veins:
Ewww, little purple lines on your legs - not flattering. Unfortunantly about half of all women get spider veins and you can thank your mom for that. They also come from hormones, pregnancy, weakened blood circulations or standing for long periods of time.
The best way to keeps these guys away is to keep your calf toned (while you're at it you might as well tone your whole leg). This helps send blood in your leg back up to your heart. How do you get a toned leg? Exercise! Also if you are standing a lot and your legs hurt wear compression hose - they add support to your leg.
Unfortunantly there isn't a cream or anything that you can put on your leg to make them go away. Sclerotherapy is your best option. They go in with a very thin needle and inject it with chemicals. Laser treatment is used in some cases. Just visit your doctor to talk about your options!
*Note: Another reason you may want to visit your doctor is because the CAN (not always, but can) cause some health issues.
