I'm in my late 20's. I had them since I was a child. They appeared after a medical treatment with strong topical cream. IPL -didn't do anything. I tried veinwave -4 treatments- even though everything cleared the 1st time. Years later I tried 1 more treatment at different clinic. Veinwave-looks GREAT after the redness goes down after 2-3 days, then I look the same after 2-4 weeks. If I leave it alone it does NOT worsen. But as soon as I get rid of them they come back. Can I have a 'main vein' supplying at the back?
