Spider Veins

[Vishenka69]

Has anyone used any of the over the counter products for spider veins? I'm curious to try them but don't want to spend $50 if they don't work at all. Some of them promise firmer and lighter skin but that's not what I'm looking for. I miss wearing skirts that are above the knee and haven't worn shorts in almost 4 years.

I feel your pain! I have a couple of varicose veins on top of the spider veins. I would love to know if any of those remedies work. I have a feeling that they don't though. :(

My guess is they don't work. I don't see how anything put on top of the skin can work on your veins. I've noticed I've gotten quite a few in the last couple of years and they're starting to bother me. I think it's too expensive to actually get them taken care of by a doctor, though I might look into it once summer is over (I read you have to wear support hose for a bit after doing vein treatments).
