Yes, I had some zapped by a dermatologist. That was a while ago, I'm sure they have some new procedures, too.

Any form of exercise that increases your circulation might help, such as swimming or running or dancing, but I fear they might never go away. Supposed to be associated with a sluggish liver sometimes, but I doubt that would be the case in a teen! But you could start researching into that now to stop the problem getting worse as you get older. Carrots and artichokes and dandelion leaves are very good for the liver, and you might consider taking Milk Thistle. You could also ask your doctor to do some tests to see if your liver is in good shape (just to be sure). Other than that, you can use a cosmetic concealer on the veins, same type people apply to their faces.
Oh, and don't wear tight jeans or leggings, or try loosening your belt by one notch. Try not to cross your legs when you sit and avoid too much salt and sugar. This should help your circulation as should massage.

I hear that you can get painless injections of a saline solution to slowly rid yourself of the spider veins. There are some topical vitamin K creams supposedly help too but I doubt they really work. Walk, run or use a treadmill to get the circulatory system going. If you have discomfort, see an MD that they are not the early stages of varicose veins. Spider veins do not cause discomfort. And don't be self-conscious about it. Take action to reduce them and to prevent further spread of these.

You are very young to have spider veins. I would see my Dr. first just to make sure everything is ok. If so then you can get them laser zapped. They have some great procedures now that are virtually painless & work really well. Try not to stand for long periods at a time, & exercise to keep the blood flowing.
I was lucky enough to inherit them from my Mother & now both of my daughters are getting them . Good luck!!!

Absolutely there is!!
You need to go to the health food store and buy Ginger Capsules. Take the recommended dosage. Ginger is a "Hot" spice with increases blood circulation, and the health benefits with ginger is amazing.
Also, go and buy a bottle of Apple Cider Vinegar... before going to bed, apply it with a cotton ball directly to the area where the veins are. You must be consistent with (anything), and if you follow through with these two things, you will see results.
Standing for any lengthy time can irritate them, and sitting on your legs is not a good thing to do.
These type of veins are hereditary and they will not completely go away...
You can also contact your Dr. because there are new procedures that can dissolve them entirely....
My best of luck to you.........

you mut have done a lot of standing all these years..i'm sorry to say but there is no simple cure for that spider veins. i saw a makeover once on tv about the two girls who have similar problem. a doctor injected some fluid in their legs and whala! the veins are gone! you can ask a derma about that.

Cellulite does not come from a single cause. It almost always comes from a combination of generic and hormonal factors.Some wrong behaviors, however, can cause or even worsen cellulite: a life that is too sedentary, altered blood circulation, incorrect diet with insufficient intake of fluids, smoking and alcoholic beverages, high heels and close-fitting garments. The plasma fluid, transudated from impaired and weakened capillaries, accumulates and stagnates in surface adipose tissue.
Cellulite can be reduced by a balanced diet and specific treatments https://tr.im/IyJf3

Hi it may be best for you to go to the doctors and check that they arnt varicose veins as you say they ache, but if they are reall small and red, I got some stuff that reduces the apperance of them from Avon, its cellusculpt Leg Perfector, its got a hint of sell tan in and will leave your legs wonderfully smooth and toned. and minimises the look of them. Maybe if you go to the doctors he will give you something to prevent them in the future.

you have a condition called vericose veins. some ppl in my family have it too. the only thing that can alieviate some of the pain is to get these special socks that are tight on your legs and wear them as often as possible. If i remember what the socks are called or where to get them, I will let you know.

there is some body make up available for an immediate solution. asfaraslong term answers, you can use compression stockings when you're at home, and also elevate your legs as often as you can. Most importantly, you should tell someone who will take you for an exam by a doc. there is a reason you have this happening and especially if you are having discomfort in that area

Sorry that I don't have an answer for you but bless you for asking this question! I have the same problem and I'm only 16 years old. I don't have a lot but I do have some on both sides of my thighs. I exercise and play sports and stuff, but I don't know why I have them either. I think it's hereditary or something. Again, thanks for asking this question. I've been wondering the same thing :o)
