Visible light blue veins on the legs
by zelkahmiktez, Sep 05, 2009 10:36PM
When I was in my pre school year I've noticed I have a three inches light blue vein on the right side of my knee, at that time I was so conscious about it. But as I grew older i forgot about it, and had been receiving complement for having "beautiful legs", For the past 11 months I've been wearing about 2 to 3 inches shoes, almost 4 x a week. Then just two weeks ago, I've noticed that the light blue veins on my right knee is getting started to protrude..
Of course, I m not happy to see it. Coz I love wearing above the knee skirts and feel comfortable more when I 'm in dress. What am I gonna do? How can I stop it? Also, few years back, when I gave birth to my child, I've noticed I have this web like veins on the back of my left leg, but it's not that visible yet , it's just that, i want to have it removed. Tell me , what I should do about it. Thanks!

Treatment of leg veins can be performed by injection of sclerosing agents into the veins and external lasers that work specifically for leg veins. In addition, treatment of underlying venous insufficiency of the deep venous system may be appropriate. The use if internal lasers can now be used in place of traditional vein stripping. You need to consult with a vascular surgeon or plastic surgeon in your area with expertise in this area.
Have a great day!
