Another treatment option for spider veins is done with a laser. During this process an intense light is directed onto the veins, which eliminates them permanently. This is especially suited to treating veins in which a needle cannot be used.
Treatment of spider veins is also common enough to have started a global market of creams and over-the-counter treatments. The products do not generally meet with the approval of physicians because no studies have been done to prove their efficacy. In some cases the topical treatment will contain vitamin K oxide which has been shown to rebuild vascular walls and repair damage that reduces the appearance of spider veins.
