SPNLuver83 - Just cover them with tattoos. You know you wanna....
I like this idea!0 -
They aren't spider. Def varicose. Raised and what not. Boo. I was really hoping there were other options other than surgery as I don't think my insurance would cover it since it's for cosmetic reasons...
I wonder if you can tattoo over them..... hmmmm0 -
Ok so I've had these damn varicose veins on my left leg pretty much for as long as I can remember, including in my childhood. They weren't really that noticeable, but as I have lost weight they have become way more noticeable. Is there anything I can do to get rid of them??!

If they are causing pain, then the procedure is no longer cosmetic btw....0 -
Do your veins bother you? hurt? Mine are starting too, (behind my left knee) but I am an avid walker and just started the C25K treadmill running program.0

I am a nurse and I had done some training at a cosmetic Dermatology and theres something called Sclerotherapy that can get rid of varicose/spider veins. They are tiny injections that go into the vein that causes them to harden and then gradually break up. During my training we had done about 5 different people and I did ask them how it felt and none of them said it was bad. It was this pinching feeling. 1 said it hurt a tiny bit. But because the vein is so close to the surface the needle just slightly goes in.0

They don't hurt or bother me, but perhaps if I told the doctor they did maybe insurance would cover it... hmm... something to think about. Thanks guys!0
