I exercise a lot. But I cross my legs all day and I eat very poorly. So sad... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spider-veins#post-936348 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 15:54:45 +0000 Caly 936348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: it's been a while so I can't remember exactly but I want to say it was a few hundred. It was fairly painless &amp; didn't take too long. The ickiest part of the whole thing was wearing the super hawt compression stockings for a few days afterwards. (When I get vein treatment in the future again I'll be sure to do it in the colder months so the super sexy old lady compression stockings can easily be hidden heh) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spider-veins#post-936342 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 15:51:50 +0000 citymouse 936342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Removal can be expensive. I have them too. Have since I was in High School. Try Compression Pantyhose. Maybe not now because its so warm, but in the winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spider-veins#post-936301 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 15:32:39 +0000 LindsayInNY 936301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LMOG47: Is the removal expensive? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spider-veins#post-936001 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 14:08:37 +0000 MrsSCB 936001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meredithNYC: @MsLipGloss: Yup, we aren't very close anymore for other reasons, but remembering that comment I can't say I'm upset, haha.</p> <p>@LMOG47: hmm, I may have to look into that, thanks for the tip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spider-veins#post-936000 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 14:08:26 +0000 T-Mom 936000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I actually have one really big clump of them right on the underside of my knee joint. Those came from doing leg lifts on a machine when I was in college. I'm not even a super excerciser! Sorry :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spider-veins#post-935985 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 14:04:38 +0000 Caly 935985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I did sclerotherapy (2 sessions) and it worked wonders. For this new crop I'll either do it again or check into the laser removal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spider-veins#post-935950 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 13:57:15 +0000 MrsKoala 935950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have some around my knees and I developed them when I was working at a job where I was standing all the time (hospitality). Hate them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spider-veins#post-935922 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 13:50:40 +0000 MsLipGloss 935922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LMOG47: Did you do laser therapy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spider-veins#post-935919 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 13:50:10 +0000 Caly 935919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>*uncrosses legs*<br /> I had them taken care of a couple years ago &amp; was thrilled to have veinless legs...then, I swear overnight I've noticed a new crop of bastards since I've been pregnant. :sad: I'll be taking care of them promptly once these kidlets are born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spider-veins#post-935857 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 13:26:10 +0000 MsLipGloss 935857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: Your friend was being a jerk!</p> <p>@LindsayInNY: I had a few pre-pg, and a few more pp. A little bit of self-tanner goes a long way to hiding the imperfections. When they bother me enough, I will have them taken care of. No biggie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spider-veins#post-935854 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 13:25:16 +0000 meredithNYC 935854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: First of all, what a turdy thing to say! Second, I rarely wear shorts anymore because of my veins and it sucks - especially in this heatwave we're experiencing in the Northeast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spider-veins#post-935852 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 13:23:57 +0000 blackbird 935852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have some, too! Hormones make them worse....i never really had them until i got pregnant. Then they got very obvious </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spider-veins#post-935850 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 13:22:55 +0000 MrsSCB 935850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have them and I hate them! I totally want to get them lasered away. And I agree with PPs about them being hereditary because my mom has them too. I never noticed mine too much until a friend looked at me in shorts and said, "why are your legs so veiny?" Nice, huh? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spider-veins#post-935812 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 13:16:25 +0000 LindsayInNY 935812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: @hilsy85: Umm, I cross my legs ALL the time. That's it! Never again!!</p> <p>@T-Mom: I was hoping exercise would make them better! How sad :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spider-veins#post-933942 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 20:09:27 +0000 meredithNYC 933942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have them and hate them. I'm 32 now, but I would say they really started showing up around 29 or 30? And I swear pregnancy made them worse :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spider-veins#post-933897 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 20:00:20 +0000 mrs. 64 933897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have them too. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spider-veins#post-933865 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 19:49:08 +0000 T-Mom 933865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have them too and pretty bad. Exercising and running actually had made it worse. It's definitely hereditary in my case. I'm planning to get them lasered in the next few years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spider-veins#post-933635 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 18:24:47 +0000 LovelyPlum 933635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have them :( So much sadness </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spider-veins#post-933631 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 18:23:24 +0000 betsyboop 933631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have them, they appeared within the last couple of years :sad: I think the only way to get rid of them is via laser treatment. I'll probably get that done once I'm done having kids but in the meantime, looking at them makes me sad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spider-veins#post-933621 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 18:19:39 +0000 hilsy85 933621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @allison,..I've heard that crossing your legs can make tem worse! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spider-veins#post-933615 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 18:17:38 +0000 allison 933615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All I know is I have them, and I think they're hereditary because my dad has them really badly, as does his mom, sister, and niece. They're so unattractive and I really want to get rid of them. I'll probably have that laser treatment done, eventually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spider-veins#post-933580 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 18:03:08 +0000 LindsayInNY 933580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I might be creating something that isn't there but I keep thinking I see little veins through my legs - like spider veins? They're super faint and only noticeable really up close.</p> <p>Please tell me I'm not the only one... Is there a way to make them go away or prevent them? I don't work out as often as I'd like presently (use to up until the past couple months) but I'm not overweight either. </p>
