There are treatment options for varicose veins of the foot including microphlebectomy of the larger veins and foam sclerotherapy for the smaller and more abundant veins.
There unfortunately is not an easy way to get rid of unsightly veins on the feet. The veins of the feet are very different than the veins of the legs. The skin of the feet is very thin and tends to get damaged easier than leg skin, so if you have a treatment such as laser or sclerotherapy injections of the skin veins, it is much more likely to get abnormal skin reaction or skin damage (compared to treatment of leg veins, where this rarely occurs). Also, there are many more surface nerves in the feet compared to the legs, and the nerves are often located right next to the veins. So any vein treatment on the feet is more likely to be associated with the risk of nerve damage. For those reasons, is has higher risk of poor cosmetic results and complications than treatment of leg veins. Occasionally for severe cases of varicose veins of the feet I will offer injection sclerotherapy, but only when the patient understands the risks ans is willing to take those extra risks. The risks would be higher in treating varicose veins than spider veins, but both are associated with the same general risks.

It would be best to be seen for an accurate answer, but if it is a blue bleb or venous lake, the long pulsed Nd:YAG 1064nm has been very effective for us with a single treatment. Rarely will we have to treat them again. If they are discrete veins, then either the laser or...
Please DO NOT try to treat your spider veins at home! Practitioners once used hypertonic saline to treat spider veins but now they tend to stay away from because of its high risk for hyperpigmentation and skin necrosis. Current treatment for spider veins is polidoconal. Also, you want to be inj...
Various laser treatments are both safe and effective treatments for under eye treatment of broken blood vessels. The pulsed dye laser (PDL) , intense pulsed light (IPL), and Long wave Nd:YAG devices can be used with good results. Because the eye area is very thin, there may be bruising following...
