There are various treatments available for addressing spider veins, though which is most appropriate will really depend on what's causing your symptoms in the first place. Some common causes of spider veins include a sedentary lifestyle and old age.
When it comes to getting rid of spider veins, I would focus on some easy dietary and lifestyle changes first. Exercise can be really beneficial as this keeps the blood pumping through your veins. We really want to avoid spending long periods in the same position, so do some regular stretches or go for a stroll in between sedentary activities like watching the television.
When you are sitting down, it can help to keep the legs elevated as this improves blood flow.
Diet can also play a part in managing spider veins, so support your circulatory system with plenty of fresh fruit and veg (especially ones rich in vitamin C) and also things like nuts, seeds, wholegrains and fresh meat and fish which will get your nutrient intake up.
