Spider veins, Do I need to see a Dr. or can a "spa" inject saline solution to get rid of small purple veins on my legs? (photo)

I have many, many small purple or blue veins on my legs and some spiral off the bigger, bulging varicose veins. I am interested in trying to diminish the discoloring around those larger issues. Any advice? I cannot afford total vein therapy as my insurance has a very high deductible...:(
