    Hello! How are you all today?:eusa_danc

    Now I want to ask something that I have sometime wanting to investigate. It's about varicose veins, because I need to get treatment for those (guess my habits are doing bad things to my legs).

    Someone knos a good treatment for varicose veins? The oly ones I've seen are big companies pseudo-medicaments, so I don't know what to do or use.

    And it's kind of worrying to me, because my legs are pretty much the only part of my body that I like.

    Thank you all!:slight_smile:

    I'm not entirely sure of the costs involved, but there are several relatively non-intrusive methods for removing them (or their appearance) that range from direct injections, to physical removal of the vein. They are all pretty painless from what I've seen, and are pretty "straight forward".

    Sclerotherapy is the injection method.
    Stripping is the removal of the vein.
    There are also laser treatments.

    I don't think any oral or topical medication is going to make them go away - it may prevent new ones forming, though.
