Are these veins on my ribcage and arm healthy? Would sclerotherapy or Vbeam be safe treatment options?

Question

I am a 26 year old female and I live in the USA. I smoke weed and drink socially. I have narcolepsy and spider veins run in my family.

In general, prominent superficial veins cause no significant problem. You skin is more transparent than usual and allows these veins to be seen.For people who dislike the appearance of such veins I try to provide reassurance in the first instance - no problem will arise.Where treatment is requrested, the blue veins and tiny pink veins respond well to sclerotherpy. This treatment appears to be more effectvie than Vbeam, especially for the blue veins.However, several sessions of treatment are likely to be needed.
