Will spider veins go away after I stop taking birth control pills? (Photo)

canderot
it has been 3 years since I begin taking BCP. Now I have 21 and decided to stop taking them because of the side effects, so I will try another BC method without hormones. Since I ve started taking them I have had frequent headeaches, celullite appeared along with some spiders veins like I show in the pictures. I would like to know if the visible veins and celullite will goa way after I stop taking the pills. Also, I think I have more visible veins in my foot than what I used to, why could it be?
