Hellobee Boards

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.

I have them, they appeared within the last couple of years 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!

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!

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

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?

@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.

*uncrosses legs*
I had them taken care of a couple years ago & was thrilled to have veinless legs...then, I swear overnight I've noticed a new crop of bastards since I've been pregnant. I'll be taking care of them promptly once these kidlets are born.

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.

@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

@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 & 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)
