Q

How can I remove the spider veins on the tops of my legs?

A

Microsclerotherapy can help. It’s a treatment that involves injecting a saltwater solution into the veins. But, while effective, it can take a long time to work.

One injection can treat an inch of a vein and a series of treatments are needed for best results. Expect to pay from £150, depending on the size of the area treated.

Afterwards, you’ll need to wear a compression garment. To prevent more broken blood vessels, always wear SPF30 or higher when exposing legs to the sun.
