Due to my first pregnacy, I had a large amount of spider veins on my legs. I have always been self concious and rarely wore shorts. I decided to do something about it this year. It took two laser sessions, and now most of the veins are gone, and the ones that remain are so light that they aren't noticable. The only thing that I would warn about this procedure is that it hurts! It is similar to be whacked with a rubber band each time that the laser goes off, but I found it to be worth the temporary pain. The doctor warned me that I might bruising afterwards, but in my case, I didn't have any trouble with bruising. The veins just faded away.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. Did you have all of your procedures at once or was it staggered?

Hi! I had all of the procedures done this year, but they were staggered.

Whew! You're stronger than I am. I don't think I could do all that in a year. :)
