The veins that really bug me are the ones on my face. I've always had a green vein under 1 eye & a long green vein down the side of my face. I began treating them with sclerotherapy almost 2 years ago and a few thousand dollars later I can STILL see the veins.

The veins keeps me from having an even complexion as they make my skin look darker in that area.
