I have some light spider veins on the back of my knees and I don't want this to get any worse. I am only 24, but mom has it pretty badly and I know this is a hereditary thing. Is there anything I can do now to prevent this from getting so bad as I get older?

It is a circulation thing.
Walk 1/2 hr a day.
Don't smoke cigarettes!!!!
DO YOGA POSTURES and deep breathing, this w/b more effective than any cream you can buy!
I use Aminogenesis Cocoon (Ebay it for best price) and it increses circulation near skin surface, helped me a lot with minimizing the spider veins.

When I turned 28 I already had been in pain, embarrassed, and scared of becoming pregnant. I didn't want my big blue varicose veins to get worse. The All Natural Varicose & Spider Vein Solution program was an easy read and easy to do. Within 21 days there was a big difference in how my legs looked and I can wear shorts without feeling embarrassed. I feel so much better with more energy and for giving me back a healthier body, and the legs that a 28 year old should have.

Elevate your legs when possible, keeping your feet positioned higher than heart level.
Exercise daily. Walking, climbing stairs, cycling and swimming keep your calf muscles in motion to activate the calf muscle pump. This reduces pooling and pressure in the veins.
Move your legs frequently. Flexing your ankles periodically will pump the blood out of your legs (simulating walking). During periods of prolonged sitting or standing, flex your ankles 10 times and repeat this every 10 minutes. Try to avoid sitting for extended periods throughout your day.
Support compression hose. These provide external graduated counter-pressure to aid in venous blood flow to the heart. They reduce pooling and pressure in the veins. They also may reduce the risk of forming a deep vein blood clot. Consider wearing them during long plane or car rides.
Maintain your ideal body weight to reduce excess pressure on your legs.
Avoid prolonged sitting and standing. On long car or plane trips activate your calf muscle pump by moving your feet up and down frequently as described above. You should also consider stopping for short walks every few hours.
Avoid excessive heat on your legs, such as hot tubs and hot baths. Heat will tend to increase vein distention and lead to more pooling of blood.

Have it removed by Laser or cryo surgery. Both are painles and leave no scar.
