From board-certified doctors and trusted medical professionals
These veins in the upper thigh and groin crease extending to the lower abdomen (trunk) can be successfully and safely treated with sclerotherapy. If they are very large, they can be treated with microphlebectomy.
Tanning can cause burning and inflammation and it is not recommended in my practice for 3 months after laser treatment for spider veins and varicose veins or sclerotherapy. It can cause increased hyperpigmentation and telangiectatic matting.
These are likely too small to remove using microphlebectomy so your best bets are going to be sclerotherapy or a 1064 laser. Usually 1 or 2 treatments is sufficiency. Good luck!
