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.

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.
