I Have Blue Veins on my Front Upper Thigh Near my Trunk?

Thank you for your question. We typically stick to treating veins on the legs and nose, some on the face.  The trunk I only treat angiomas and small red telangiectasias. I hope this helps.

I have treated these veins successfully with sclerotherapy. If you have bulging veins in your lower legs as well, performing an ultrasound of your superficial venous system would be appropriate prior to treatment.

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. 

Blue veins are also called reticular veins and they most commonly are treated by sclerotherapy.  Larger blue veins can approach the size of varicose veins and, if this is the case, micropohlebectomies(2mm incisions) can be utilized.  If you have a lot of blue veins a venous reflux ultrasound would help to see if these are coming from another source.

Enlarged veins on the lower and upper leg can be treated with sclerotherapy (injection with an agent that closes the veins).  They may also be treated by phlebectomy (surgical removal) or by laser or RF ablation.  Evaluation by ultrasound or venogram can determine if they are safe to treat, and in  most cases, they are.
