This was great, thanks, been searching for "how to get rid of thread veins on legs" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Siyulianor Salient Supremacy - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is a good one off guide for discovering how to Getting Rid of varicose Veins without the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my mate got amazing results with it.
I absolutely adore how you comment on self esteem with procedures. I am not ready for botox and fillers but I have been plagued by spider veins since I was 12 (tennis injury started it all). I will say the older I get the less I care but to say it doesn't bother me at all would be a lie. My dad (who is my family practitioner) always told me to look in the mirror and be grateful because I had clear skin and a pretty face---he might be biased ;). I am so blessed to have wonderful and encouraging parents. Keep up the awesome videos!
Thanks!
I’m enjoying these videos. It’s nice to see a professional skin doctor that addresses the emotional impact of skin conditions and how it affects an individual - treating the whole person (mind and body) is so important. I have had a couple doctors that haven’t addressed or dismissed it when I mention the embarrassment of a skin condition called DSAP.
Thanks! DSAP is very challenging to cope with for sure! Treatments aren't great and it is hard to camoflage. I wish we had a better understanding of this disease so we could develop rational therapies
Hey there hunny. Congrats on passing 80k, you're doing such a tremendous job! You are so knowledgeable and give great info, I'm surprised you haven't gotten 100k yet! Keep up the great work! XOXO Sharon
Thanks Ms Sharon :)
Thank you Dr Dray, I’m dealing with swelling from my varicose veins and an injury and just got my compression stockings and now after this talk I feel confident in getting some help for the varicose veins 💜
:)
Thank you for this Dr. Dray! Really having a hard time wearing compression stockings, just had my sclerotherapy yesterday.
This couldn't be more timely. thank you for posting this. I am have spider vein treatment for my legs this Thursday. I LOVE, love, love your channel!
Thanks!
You're amazing, i can't stop watching your videos!!
Once again excellent video! I appreciate the way you thoroughly explain conditions and treatments. It's so kind of you to share your knowledge and help us understand 💕
Thanks!
I had laser ablation done and as long as they give you enough anesthesia, you do not feel the laser. The painful part was the anesthesia injection. It burns for about 10 -15 seconds during the injection.
Some insurances WILL cover varicose veins (not spider veins), because of the potential problems they can lead to. My insurance (GHI) covers it after testing to deternine the extent of the damage to a vein. I use heavy dishwashing gloves (I saw it in a youtube video) to help me put on compression stockings.
Thank you for brightening my day. I look forward to your videos! You are so cheerful.
Thanks!
Wow, the most impressive thing I got from your video is how sweet you are and genuinely caring 😘
thanks
Thank you so much!! I think the review was so so great!! I love to watch your channel, you do not know how happy I am to have found you. Once again Thank you so much. Love xoxo
thanks!
Thank you Dr. Dray! ❤️
I appreciate your honest Dr Dray. I spent last 20 yrs standing on concrete for 20 yrs and just now seeing signs of varicose veins . lucky I do not have to stand in one place like thatnow but I kinda knew that not much could be done once I started seeing them. I like pressure stockings as well .
I am hooked on them :)
dr. dray! i honestly don't know what i did before i found you, which was recently. your product suggestions have calmed my rosacea. i have two varicose veins in one leg, and although i'm hardly a vain person, they make me self-conscious. i live in l.a., so there are many vein treatment clinics and specialists. just when i think i'm ready to do something about them, i read a bad review and become terrified. there's talk of tremendous pain and how they'll return, worse! but quarantine is an ideal time to get this done, and i am a tough cookie. can you please hold my hand and tell me it's going to be OK? thanks!
your videos are SO useful! LOOOOVE your channel andrea 💕💕💕
thanks!
Came back to watch video a second time . great info . Thank you!
Thanks 4 watching
Thank you for this video! I’m 25 and on my feet pretty much all day at work I wonder about my veins because of this.
Thanks for watching :)
Your video is one of the best I've ever heard on any subject. You are very thorough and knowledgeable. Thank you very much.
Thanks!
An excellent segment that addresses types of treatment modalities. Helpful tips on compression stocking applications and care. Some compression boxes come with a plastic baglike sleeve to place over the foot for ease of application. It's worth the struggle though as it helps with swelling of the feet and circulation. TY Dr.Dray xoxo
:)
Great video!!!!
Your channel is a wonderful source of information, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
thanks!
There are compression stockings that are fairly easy to put on. People don’t need to buy the extremely tight ones. There are differently levels of compression for the stockings. People just need to figure out what’s best for them. I personally find them comfortable and love the squeeze from when I first put them on and the release from finally taking them off after 12 hours. It’s also pleasant to look down and not see swollen legs after working all night. They’re great for 8hr shifts too. You can find affordable stockings at Walmart that don’t have an intense squeeze.
How do you know if they're not too tight?
I find sclerotherapy to be very effective. Some of the medications have numbing in the mix with the "schlerazing" agent...hyper-pigmentation is like freckles which I already have. I find the saline solution doesn't have it. I have spider veins but no insufficiency. Thank you for the informative video.
Love all of your videos. Can you do one on prp for hair loss? Please and thank you
Hi! I’ve recently joined your channel and you are so inspiring. You have given me some great information on sunscreens and skin care. I have also been eating a lot healthier and am loving the vegan recipes! Thank you for making healthy living fun and informative!Have a great day!Joanna from Edinburgh, Scotland x
Thanks!
Thanks for the great info Ms Andrea! 🤙🏻❤️
happy wednesday :)
I had a lasar treatment to help with the appearance of my spide viens, it was extemely painful and I didn't see any change, thank you for your information this is much more helpful!
:)
Okay..if you have RED facial veins and want them to disappear permanently? no joke..here's what you do..and trust me, I JUST DID THIS about an hour ago, and i feel stupid that I didn't try this before. I HAD HUGE VEINS ON MY NOSE AND CHEEKS, and they are GONE! Simply get these supplies: 1 candle..1 needle..1 mirror(preferably a magnified one)..and 1 lighter..(numbing cream optional-i used it, and it didn't make much of a difference, there's basically ZERO pain overall. Just feels like a thorn prick, if that... (clean area before 'treatment' with hot water rince on face..Set up the mirror on a table close by your face, so you can see the veins you want to get rid of. Light the candle and put the BLUNT end of the needle into the candle flame for about 10 seconds or so...find the vein you want to remove and tap that vein rather quickly so as not to leave a scar. . . . and watch the fucker disappear before your eyes. continue with other veins small or large until you're finished with the desired look. Be sure to clean your face before with a warm cloth to reveal all the veins(since hot/warm water dilates the veins so you can see them better), and afterwards, wash with cold water to get the little black marks off your skin. Most of my veins were 'zapped' IMMEDIATELY, and the few others will take a day or two to show, after the redness goes away from your 'treament'. Simple. Effective. Costs $0.00. THEND.
@@atheistleopard2484 please explain what you mean by tapping the vein...I have them on my face...most are so small I'm not sure I can see them well enough to poke with a needle...thank you!
Hello where did you experience the most pain? i just had it done this afternoon, so so far so good i took advil wating for the medicine to wear out and what is going to be like tomorrow
@@sharoncourt75 so did it work?
I think my venous stasis was caused from an attack of midges while hiking years ago--they got under my socks (that's right where the bites and itchiness was, then a general redness, and that has remained, though looks a little different). Thank you for your work!
Thanks! I have at times had to use them. Some diet changes though appears to have alleviated my issues but keep them on hand if needed. A bit of a pain to use but most helpful for sure. Agree, while finding inexpensive (but effective) options for you personal care is very rewarding, if anything from a lift, to fillers, to just spending a bit of money on working on an anti-aging regime with your dermatologist helps you be more productive in your work and enjoy social life more go for it :)
i think i am the rare bird that actually loves wearing them, lol
I’d be curious to hear your review of Paula’s Choice new Daily Replenishing Body Cream. It seems like a good formula and good value for money if used as a facial moisturizer. I think it could give CeraVe a run for its money.
Hi Dr Dray first I wanna say you are amazing and down to earth which I love the most I know many people have spider vein on their legs but what are the treatment options if you have them on the face?
New to your channel, love all your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
I was so lucky that one of my clients who was a nurse gave lots of compression socks. My legs be so uncomfortable at the end of the day before wearing them.
I love my compression stockings, the think the hospital ones with open toes are the more comfortable to me
I love your informative videos Dr. Dray. I have multiple spider veins on my left lower leg so bad that I’m embarrassed to show my legs in the summer. What are your thoughts on Vit K cream to fade spider veins, does any cream really help?
Texas heat makes wearing compression stockings a chore. It helps to do open toe when you just have to wear them. Also nice to alternate between lengths to prevent sore spots. ❤️ Thank you for a wonderful video.
:)
Hi Dr Dray. Thanks so much for all the great info! Being nearly 60 I have some issues with varicose veins on my legs. Get out those support hose! LOL!!💝💝💝
I love those hose!
I have had sclerotherapy as well as pulse dye laser and I think two of the toughest parts of this process for me were the initial ultrasound because it made me extremely nauseous and faint feeling. Which is apparently normal but for what ever reason I was not warned that it was a possibility. The other thing that really bothered me was when they drained the veins to inject the saline/detergent it didn't really hurt too bad but psychologically it bothered me. I still have some little spider veins that bother me but I think I am going to take a break and then go back because I am sure developing them is inevitable and I am sure I will have to continue this process through out my life if I want the spider veins gone. Mine aren't really that bad but I got the procedure done because I didn't like them. They made me insecure and feel like at 28 they were aging me. Something I found interesting with the pulse dye laser was my first session didn't hurt bad at all, I was able to speak through out it all but the 2nd session was a different story. It was much more painful and I kept telling the lady doing the procedure that I couldn't focus on what she was talking about. I think the fact that I have had 3 tattoos removed has helped prep me for that procedure. If you can sit through tattoo removal you can probably handle the laser treatment just fine.
Hi! I see that you have had both procedures for your spider veins . Would you recommend one over the other ?
My problem is varicose veins. My ARNP told me about the surgery. ( I am putting that off as long as possible) He also suggested horse chestnut ( I don't see any change) and to wear compression leggings as they are easier to put on than the compression stockings and fashionable.Not as good as the stockings, but they truly help. It helps with the leg pain and I live in the leggings.
Interesting video! Hope your weak is going well Andrea!
:)
Dr. Dray thanks! Would you also talk about mild stasis dermatitis in Lowe legs?
Great information - thanks so much!! Sue
Thanks Ms Sue :)
I had Radiofrequency ablation treatment which is different from laser ablation. It is basically pain free. It was uncomfortable but not painful. The spot was sore for about 24 hours and tender for a week or so. The doctor was able to close the bad vein in my right leg and I didn't form any new knots since then (it has been 3 years). While at it, the doc stripped the vein around my knee which improved the look. My right leg is perfect. The problematic vein in my left leg, however, couldn't be closed all the way because it was too narrow. It still helped a bunch but I have some new knots forming. I am planning to check it out again and see what can be done. This procedure is not cosmetic. It was a treatment and was covered by insurance. I had a significant reduction in pain.
I had the same procedure and I love my legs now! And my procedure was also covered by my insurance!
yeah if there are medical reasons to have them removed insurance usually will cover; glad to hear this helped Ms Yuliya
Hi Leah ad Styles. I’ve had this done too but have found new spiders pop up 3-4 months later. Have either of you had that? Thanks so much.
I'm a nurse and when I worked on the hospital floors I wore compression socks. The brand was NurseMates and I tjink they are lower pressure than actual TED stockings but they were great in helping my legs feel less fatigued at the end of a 12 hr shift.
they are helpful
TheLaura21774 how long did you go to college for? i want to become a nurse i have recently graduated high school
Great info! I have small patches of spider veins and being a nurse working a lot on my feet doesn't help..I love compression stockings especially with 12-16 hour shifts! I get the crazy patterned ones to wear under my scrub pants, lol! I'm glad they have more tx options, my grandmother had hers stripped years ago..awful! Hugs from Jersey, where we currently have snow raging down, uggh.. I'm ready for spring! :):)
stay warm!!
Thank you. Good video.
Hello!! Thank you for this video, its so helpful, but I have a question can spider veins remove by laser?
Enjoyed:) Bring in the Task Rabbit...lol Thanks for the info on varicose veins and prevention!!!! Spider veins,Ugh!! I love my Zensah leg/calf sleeves!! I wear them all the time!! Happy Wednesday;)
i need to check out zensah...how are they in the TX summer?
Awesome!! Love wearing even in the Texas heat!!
Hello . Did you know something about Asclera medicine? I read a lot side affects could be . Sounds scary , what do u think about that med? Thank you
I’ve always exercised and never been sedentary and started getting them in my 40’s and got really bad in my 50’s. Compression stockings are uncomfortable and impractical in the hot weather. Expensive too.
Doesn’t hurt at all just finished my second procedure it’s amazing go sclerotherapy go
Hello Dr dray!! Thaks for this video. I did sclerotherapy in my spider veins, but more spider veins appeared 1 week later, and I've read that it can occurs because of putting more pressure in some other spider veins. Did you know something about this? Is not matting, are just more spider veins and worst than the first ones.
Another doubt is how long it takes the vein to dissappear, I mean, is is possible to see it worst the first days and little by little see them disappear?
Varicose veins on my lower leg made me so miserable so I got the operation . It really was the best thing I have ever done . A little sore after for a few days but well worth the pain !!!
glad to hear you had a good experience Ms kirsty
What was the cost of that operation
Do you remember the cost?
What kind of operation you did? Happy for you 😊
Hey y’all! This guy is pretty sharp!
Guy??
I had Sclerotherapy several times for varicose veins and spider veins. It was very effective for me. Varicose veins took two treatments and spider veins one treatment to completely remove all of them. There was no pain at all. Cost is much less then lasers. Wearing complexion stockings was uncomfortable. 3 days for 24 hours and 4 days only during the day. Get ones with no footing.
How was your legs after ? I want to do it I have some reticular veins but I read so many bad comments about sclerotherapy " still have pain after 2 months, not effective at all, swollen legs for long time" I don t know what to belive
If possible can you do a video on skin peels and which one are good for different skin tones? I'm Native American, olive skin tone, and would like to do a peel (or laser treatment) to help my skin texture and tone.
I'd appreciate some great advice from a dermatologist 🖤
i have done one
I had sclerotherapy. I have a great dermatologist and hardly felt a thing. Best thing I ever did.
Thank you so much Dr. Dray!!!
:)
My dermatologist only told me that I should wear compression socks after he saw my legs during an exam for an unrelated condition but didn’t really give me much more information about them. Lost my insurance so I can’t go back to him and ask for more info, so, this video is definitely useful. One question though… if I’m buying compression socks on Amazon, what do you advise I look for? Does the mmHg (I’m assuming that’s the amount of pressure?) matter? Most of the ones I’ve seen are 20-30 mmHg. Will that actually make a difference?
I love the compression stockings except the foot area are always too tight, so I sometimes have to avoid the stocking.
Hi, Dr. Dray! Last year I got a sclerotherapy on both of my legs. It didn't work I still have the veins. Anyway I still having the hope of see them disappear. The good thing is that I learned about compression socks. I use them every day when working. It feels so comfortable and my legs appreciate it!😀
:)
Ines Perez sclerotherapy did not work for me either ☹️, but I only had 2 treatments, so that may be why?
Lori Kessler, hi, I had only one, lol. The Dr. Said my veins were not so big, one treatment will be enough but it didn't. Someone told me that my veins are dry and eventually they'll disappear, something that I don't believe because they still bothering me. I'm not going to try it again, for me the procedure was painful. Running 3x per week and having a healthy diet has helped me a lot to tackle the pain and keeping my veins less noticeable. Greetings from WA. State, Lori!😊
Ines Perez yes, the same here, some of my veins were smaller than the needle so it was a challenge. I may try the compression socks to try and prevent more. I lift weights, but maybe more cardio would help 🤷♀️
Lori Kessler, yes, compression socks and cardio is a good idea! My socks are moderate or medium compression and I use them only to work and gym. I can't stand them for more than 8 hrs.😁
Hi Andrea, Congratulations for your 81K, I loved this video, it was very thorough and informative, varicose veins can become a disabling disease, not only a cosmetic issue, it's important to treat them in the early stages, according to a dear friend of mine, who is cardiovascular surgeon, the best stockings are the ones that go from feet to waist, the others from feet to calves aren't so good. Thank you.xoxo
thanks!
Maria C. Delgado Out of curiosity, how is it possible to pull a compression stocking all the way up to the waist. The thought reminds me of the days before jeans had any stretch of lying on my back and using a pair of pliars on newly washed cotton jeans to pull up the zipper. I was 13 at the time lol.
Hi Marya, I used these kind of compressive stockings during my medical career, for years, mainly on medical guards, it's not easy to put them on, but they have some elasticity and come with very good instructions, so you can turn into an expert quickly.
Maria C. Delgado Thank you for responding. I had never known of their existence. This channel is amazing. Dr. Dray is knowledgeable far beyond the realm of dermatology and attracts extremely informative subscribers.
I agree with you Marya, Dr. Dray is a "gift from the universe to us".
Hey Dr Dray! What's your opinion on plant extracts in skincare? Are they all bad or could some be useful?
Dr. Joel Wallach. Says take copper. I started taking copper, max dose. In 6 months My legs were no longer hurting, bulging veins were gone. No pain now.
Hi Dr. Dray. What would you recommend for persons with chronic venous insufficiency with history of debridement and blood clots, in terms of external care?
hi Dr. Dray, what are your thoughts for Chiva procedure?
Dr. Dray what do you think about the supplements for varicose veins,for ex. horse chestnut? Tnx.
Omg it did it again... DR. DRAY she meant to say!!!!!
What do you think about compression socks with zippers? Thank you, Dr Dray!
Great video! I’m 45 years old, I have varicose vein in both legs, they hurt a lot.
thanks!
Hi Andrea! Thank you for a great channel! I have a question: Does dermarolling on the face make spider veins worse? I like dermarolling as an antiaging treatment. I also use vitamin c in the morning and vitamin a in the evening.
no
Wonderful video Dr. Dray. Very informative. Just wondering - do you wear the socks while you're working out or just while you're at work?
Thanks! no...just during the day
Thanks for the info! I always wondered about this, but never really looked into it. Growing up I played a lot of sports, went hiking, biking, did dance, etc. Mainly just do yoga and walking now, and I've noticed my veins getting more obvious over the years. I am fairly certain the main culprit is my genetics, and some of my previous jobs didn't help (though I still kinda moved around a lot lol). It's not really a big deal to me now at 37, but if I can help prevent it from getting worse that's cool! I've heard crossing our legs will also cause these veins?
yeah it can contribute because it impedes blood return
Same with me. My mom and grandmother had them. :/
I’m so happy you did this video! I am so upset since I turned 25 I have a little spider vein on my ankle that looks like it will go straight up my leg. Also, on my lower neck there is a little spider vein that popped up that I am not happy about and pretty upset :/ my derm said it could go away, she wasn’t to concerned with it. So I have just been moisturizing and using sunscreen - it’s faded but still there on my neck :/ thanks for your knowledge yet again! ❤️❤️
frustrating for sure; i am glad this was helpful; hope u r having a good week
Imagine having them on your face and nose. I feel for women that have them on their legs but I honestly think they are not that bad. The ones I have under my nose were caused from having my nose broken a few times when I was young and dumb. They are really bright red. I would almost get them tattooed over but I was advised against it. I know that smoking ciggs makes them worse vitamin K2, horse chestnut extract, and grapeseeds extract makes them less visible for me and removes alot of the redness too.
Vitamin K also helped my broken capillaries on the cheeks and sides of the nose
Was it vit k pill supplement?
Or like topical treatment?
Dr Dray, You are amazing with a great sense of humour and I'm so happy that I discovered your channel! I'm obsessed with sunscreen and skin care and you are a huge help to me.I have a question about alcohol in European and Japanese sunscreen formulas. Do you think that the SD alcohol in some of these formulas causes damage or sensitivity? Thanks so much :)
no
I had two injection treatments on both legs a month apart and it helped but the spider veins returned in my ankles.
Here’s a thought... support panty hose... it’s a lighter but more total compression and is good for preventive reasons... they also help you feel less fatigued after a day on your feet...
:)
It's been such a treat to watch so many of your videos these last couple of weeks since I subscribed! And you've gone from 74 to 81 thousands subscribers in this short amount of time! Congratulations, you create such high-quality content and it shows!
Could I bother you with a tretinoin-related question? I've started 0,025% tret about 5 weeks ago, did 1 use the first week, then 2 uses, and for the last 2 weeks I went to 3 uses. I've also incorporated Hada Labo Gokyujun Premium, which is hyaluronic acid basically. I wash face, moisturize (after watching a differin video of yours), wait for about 20-30 minutes, apply tret, wait another 30 min-1h and then go with the Hada Labo and moisturizer again. However, when I did this, I spread both all over the face, eye-lids, lips and the tret was foaming up a bit underneath. And then got flaky eye-lids and an annoying irritation around my lips (otherwise no irritation or dryness). I've been avoiding the eyes and lips since then, but for some reason the irritation around my lips doesn't want to go away and it flares up after each night of tret use.
So I have 2 ideas, do you think they're worth trying? Either not apply anything after tret or leaving the tret on for a while and then rinsing whatever didn't absorb off and do the normal routine. Would it lose its effectiveness? What do you think?
yeah i put mositurizer on first, and you should not apply tretinoin to wet skin, nor should you apply it around the face; and if you have to "wipe off" excess" you are using too much! just a thin film from a pea sized amount
Dr Dray So you don’t re-apply moisturizer after the tretinoin, only before?
I only apply a pea-size amount too, but after 30 min-1h I was going with hyaluronic acid and moisturizer again, and the very liquid HA somehow “dissolves” the white film the tret leaves after absorbing and spreads it around.
Thank you for addressing this. Does waxing cause more spider veins? Also is there anything topical or internal I can take to stop more from forming or lighten at least?
no and no
I am 47 and teach fitness - I also LOVE ❤️ my compression socks. I prefer the ones that are not footed - if that makes sense.
i love them
I’m from Europe and have open toes compression knee socks but not familiar with not footed compression socks. Would you kindly share brand and model of the ones you wear? Thanks.
Yes I wear the Remedy Calf Compression Running Sleeve Socks. I have them in hot pink and a neon yellow. I actually sleep in mine the night before my morning classes. I have been wearing them for a few years and they make a HUGE difference for me. 👍🏻😁
They have them on amazon - I just verified. 👍🏻
Thanks 🙏
Thank you!
:)
Nice to know exercise helps. I didn’t know much about this topic, your detailed explanations are very informative and interesting.
Exercise helps many things...my mood for sure, lol!
Dr Dray Hi dear!
I NEED YOUR HELP.
I do not have varicose veins or spider veins, I have leaky veins.
My heart dr. told me to ware compression socks it is only three days but i still wake up with excruciating pain in my legs. He said he can fix it, by putting some tube up in them with some heat, what is that call, so I can do some research on it?
Also is there some natural way I can heal this problem without operating? Thanks you have a very sweet voice and look very kind. Thanks for your good info to us commoners.
Yes that’s all me I have had several falls and have worked in retail standing up.
:)
Thank you so much for this information! I have spider veins but I think I’ll just have to live with them! I considered getting a tattoo on the one above my ankle, but decided that was not an option!LOL. Thanks

Do compression socks help after you have spider veins, or just as a prevention?
I’ve had the sclerotherapy before & it’s not nearly as bad as it sounds! It’s a needle that is super small like a diabetic insulin syringe. I was able to tolerate the pain just fine, pain 1-2 for me personally. I did it once at age 25 and about to go for round 2 @ age 31. I have am a nurse and also have a significant family hx of spider veins. I had a good experience with it
glad to hear it was a good experience :)
Coco Pops I have similar experience as Niki, pain maybe 1-2, more like a slight discomfort for me than pain. I had one procedure done, noticed only small improvement, so I'm not very happy with the result. You don't really feel the needle when it's inside. My dermatologist didn't send me to ultrasound before the treatment but I complained to my GP about 3 months later when I still feel some heaviness and discomfort in the leg where I got more injections. She sent me to get ultrasound done and everything turned to be ok. So I would recommend checking with your dermatologist if they include an ultrasound, saves some stress later.
Iam struggling with that.. Hope find help sooner
How about creams for varicose veins? Essential oils?
Thank you for this very informative video, Dr Dray. I have varicose veins, I am cyclist, and walk a lot. I see also many cyclist men who have these big varicose veins. Recently I started taking Red vine leave extract pills, but only when I have to sit long hours. What is your opinion about them?
Great info thank you ♥️
I've just within the last 6 months have developed a couple of small spider veins.. Ugh
But I'm also house manager (housekeeper) so I'm on my feet all day and not in my 30's anymore 🤗😅🤗😅🤗😅 so that could be another reason!
:)
I have spider veins in my feet all of a sudden over the last year!? I can’t help but think it’s because of chronic dehydration, fat (addicted to chocolate and chips!) and salt and stress! Grrr! I try being super healthy and now I’m super sad this is happening! Those lifelong bad habits do catch up to us!!! 😭
I’m hoping they can fix the issue and I can reverse shitty habits!!! I want to look into scelotherapy!
Good that you are changing your eating habits. Drinking lots of water helps blood flow and thinning blood naturally.
How much does sclerotherapy cost on average for someone who has spider veins on both sides of both ankles? Does the stain you mentioned go away and how long will that take?
81k, Woop Woop!! 😙 x
Thanks for your support

Prolonged standing I immediately thought of registered nurses and the career I’m about to start :(
If u will keep doing some special workout 🏋🚴💪 it will not be any issue or obstacle in ur career, remember u r next to God for the sufferers
Never had spider veins until we went to 12 hour shifts.
I’m an RN. I got them within the first year of nursing. You will stand for the whole twelve hours some days and forget to pee for over 8-10 hrs. Just FYI.
My mum is a nurse 30yrs in and yes she has them like a lot. :/ take care you
Do u wear the knee hi or the full length ones. And do u wear them while working out too? Thanks!
thigh high; no only during the day
Great video Dr. Dray. I work in a busy kitchen everyday for 4 hours. I do not leave my house without my compressions. I do sclerotherapy every year with a great vein dr. So it really helps every year i go i have less spider veins to inject because of wearing my compression. I also jog everyday with them and that sure helps too.
glad to hear you have a good routine :)
