By elevating the legs or wearing support shoes, you can get relief from the spider vein pains temporarily.

Causes behind the spider veins
Thus, the main purpose of the veins in your body is to carry the blood back to the heart and contain a one-way valve for traveling the blood in one direction. When the valves of the veins are damaged, the blood automatically flows backward and accumulated within the veins.
Over time, the extra blood in the veins is fragile and makes the vein walls bulge out. As a result, spider veins are created in that area. For numerous reasons, spider veins are formed in your body such as:
Prolonged sitting ad standing
Increased age and sun damages
hormonal changes and pregnancy
Effective treatments for spider vein
Through numerous noninvasive ways, the spider vein problem can be treated in your body. The following points define the effective treatment options for spider vein issues.
Among the several noninvasive spider vein treatments, the GentleMax Pro is defined as laser treatment in which lights are used in the red or infrared range by targeting the veins. Moreover, in this treatment, the laser lights are penetrating deeper into the skin for treating the spider veins and are most effective for darker skin patients.
In the GentleMax Pro treatment, the spider veins are absorbing the light from the laser and pass through the other tissues without damaging its surrounding parts. For effective results, you need 3 to 5 sessions of treatment.
V-Beam Perfecta
Like the GentleMax Pro treatment, the V-Beam Perfecta is also defined as a pulsed laser treatment that can emit laser lights of a defined color and frequency like orange and yellow. In this procedure, these color lights are penetrating the affected skin and tissue. In this way, the spider veins are breaking down and are removed entirely.
During the treatment, you can feel a little warm and find some redness in the treatment area. This non-invasive technique for spider veins is mostly effective for patients of fair to medium skin found closer to the surface. For effective results, this treatment also needs 3 to 5 sessions.
Radiofrequency occlusion
In the radiofrequency occlusion treatment for spider veins, a small catheter is directly inserted into the vein for delivering the radiofrequency energy to the spider vein walls for treating them. During the treatment, the heat produced from the radiofrequency energy collapses the affected vein and seals them. This treatment is performed by using a local anesthetic
Sclerotherapy
Among the several noninvasive procedures for treating spider veins, Sclerotherapy is the most popular one which is used for eliminating the pain and discomfort of spider veins and preventing them from other complications like vein bleeding.
On the other hand, Sclerotherapy are using highly concentrated saline or specially-made detergent for improving the appearance of the spider veins. Those ingredients are directly injected into the veins for reducing their appearance. Through this treatment, the appearance of the spider veins can disappear gradually over 3 to 4 weeks.
