See a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Board Certified Dermatologist with a vascular laser or a BCVascular surgeon. They can recommend the best line of therapy.

Treatment of veins on the chest
Veins on the chest may be addressed with Sclerotherapy, radio-frequency and laser therapy. The modality used depends on the size of the veins which have to be addressed. However, one must always be aware of the potential risk of Hyperpigmentation post treat. While it is tolerated well by patients who get their legs treated, I think it would much more difficult to accept dark discoloration of the skin on the chest.

Vein Treatment
Depending on the size and depth, vascular lesions in general respond very well to the Nd:YAG laser treatment. Often, vascular lesions can be eradicated with one treatment; however, in some cases it may require up to two treatments.

Chest veins and sclerotherapy
Visible, blue chest veins can usually be treated with sclerotherapy (injections of sclerosing agents directly into the veins, which leads to their eventual resorption/disappearance). It is difficult to treat these veins with vascular lasers since their diameter/depth is too great for the laser to effectively destroy them.

I would need to see you before giving any advice. Small veins can be treated with injectable agents such as Asclera.
