| I've had them zapped before and it was under $100 dollars. I don't really see how anything topical can get rid of them, so why waste the money, when the laser seems to always work.. |

Venacura is taken internally, as pills.
Unfortunately laser did squat for my veins too. Going to try more sclero next week. That didn't work for me before either. 
The Dr who'll be doing it says that alot of people use the standard mix, and never try altering the strength. That's what she'll be trying on me.
Keeping my fingers crossed. |

Lasers don't work well on leg spiderveins... sclerotherapy is still the best option.
Something similar happened to me... I did one session of sclerotherapy and I used the "book" concentration of sclerosant and it didn't work well, so for the next one I doubled it and finally it worked.
With higher concentrations though it's important to use a sclerosant agent that will not cause necrosis in the tissues if it extravasates.
IPL works best for face spider veins; sclerotherapy is not recommended. |

| Well, now I'm bummed. I am doing a couple small ones on my legs next week. The ones on my face have always responded great to the laser, but I guess that's different. I hope I'm not wasting money. |

Josee that's good to know that you got it to work. There is still hope for me yet.  |
