Spider veins are the small purplish veins that appear on the legs in the thigh or calf area as well as other locations. These veins can be very unattractive to some people and usually make people feel self conscious and uncomfortable about their appearance. However the good news is that no one has to actually live with spider veins since there are some great tips for getting them removed.
Use home remedies
There are many different homeopathic remedies that can be used to get rid of spider veins. These remedies have been time tested for generations and effectively reduce the appearance of both the spider veins and the feeder veins that feed them. Not everyone believes that home remedies work but since they are relatively inexpensive and noninvasive, they are worth a try. One of the most popular home remedies to help with spider veins is homemade ginger tea. The science behind using ginger tea is that ginger helps to break up fibrin which is a blood protein that accumulates wherever the vein was injured. Ginger also helps to improve the blood circulation which is very helpful for reducing the appearance of spider veins.
Spider Vein Sclerotherapy
One of the most effective ways to get rid of spider veins is through a procedure known as vein sclerotherapy. During this procedure, the vein is injected with a liquid or foam version of sclerosing. Once the targeted vein has been injected, it will begin to close off and this main feeder vein will no longer be able to support the spider veins. When done properly, this type of spider veins treatment has proven very effective at completely eliminating the presence of spider veins.
Laser therapy is another spider veins treatment that people have had success with. By visiting your local laser center, you can discuss which treatments are best suited for your individual needs.
