Spider veins on the leg

I have spider veins  on my leg. Do I need to do something about them?

Spider veins are always superficial to the skin and much smaller than the varicose veins. Because the spider veins are dark and visible from  the skin, they are a major source of embarrassment for most females.

One thing to note about these veins is that they are harmless and not associated with any symptoms. The disfigurement is only of a cosmetic concern. While we do not have a cure for spider veins, one can protect against these unsightly veins by wearing support hose stocking and maintaining a normal weight. For facial spider veins, the ideal treatment does not exist. One may use camouflage or laser therapy. It does not matter what therapy you undergo, spider veins will come back.
