What type of veins are these and how to treat? (Photos)

Boston1234567
On my left outer thigh I have four identical patches of veins/broken blood vessels in a row, where it looks like someone bruised me with their palm. Same issue now on the right side, but larger. Flat, not raised so assuming not spider veins, but sometimes experience discomfort in area during exercise. 29 y/o female, began heavy weightlifting about 5 years ago when issue started to appear. What type of veins are these, and what is the best treatment method for removal? Thanks!
