I'm just 28 but I already have obvious spider verins on my right leg.
Is there any body lotion or body care can help?
N.V. Perricone has some products which claims can help this problem. Did any ladies try before? Does it work?
Any cheaper stuffs can help too? |

| I bought a bottle of the Perricone spider vein stuff -- I used it on the broken caps on my cheeks for four months. I saw no difference whatsoever, but I guess I kept hoping. Made a decent moisturizer, I guess, but not remotely worth it for me at $80 or something. |

| Skin doctors have a cream called Vein Away do not know how good it is but sells well here. If you had money how about Laser its supposed to be long lasting or sometimes forever. It was great to hear about Perricone as I was going to get it for my cheeks thanks Kathclip |

| I think that you will have to have a Doctor remove them. (Lasers?) I was told that pressure can cause them. Eg. Sitting cross legged on a chair or for long periods on a chair or surface that cuts off circulation. That seems to fit for the back off the legs area where I have a problem. Also, they seemed to appear after I was pregnant. I'm considering a consultation to discuss different methods of removal. |

Look in the Yellow Pages of your phone book. there are doctors that specialize in this. The procedure that is considered the "gold standard" is something like sclerothropy.
What you spend on Perricon you could easily pay for a doctor's visit. If you have insurance, it would probably pay for the procedure and be much more likely to work than a topical.
Lazers work, somewhat successfully, on the tiny veins on your face but not so much on your legs. |

| I have the same problem. The doctor said the laser can remove it. |

| I also heard that some plastic surgeons inject some sort of liquid into the vein itself. Not sure what they inject into the vein though. One of my old office colleagues had it done but that was a few years ago so maybe the technology has moved on. |

| I don't believe (others might) that creams/lotions will remove them. Sclerotherapy or laser treatment probably will. But they'll probably return eventually. Then you can do it again. See a doctor (dermatologist, vascular/vein specialst) who has a lot of experience with this. There are risks with these procedures, though. You might end up with discoloration, etc.. |
