A few months after I had tested positive for COVID I started noticing extremely blue visible veins on my entire body- legs, hands, arms, stomach, chest including varicose veins on my legs. Most doctors have told me this isn't anything to do with COVID, but I'm convinced it has to be. Has anyone else experienced this?
Hi everyone, I'm hoping to get sclerotherapy on my chest as I have a very visible network of blue veins there. Doctors in my area (Ottawa, ON) keep telling me its unsafe, meanwhile other doctors are saying it is. The mixed reviews are concerning and I'm not sure who to believe.

Just wanted to respond to the fact that each doctor said that vitamin K was ineffective in dealing with broken capillaries and basically urge expensive laser treatments as the only safe and effective treatment. I once spent hundreds of dollars for laser treatment on a few broken facial capillaries on my face and actually even got burned in one section because the...

Hi is there any treatment for blue tread veins under the eyes they are in the soft tissue what would the treament be called and would it be safe
Hello, wondered about what type of laser is best for treatment of small spider veins. I did a bit of research and got answers from different derms and esthetic clinics using different laser and charging different prices (starting as low as $70 (CAN) up to $400 (CAN) per session ) and I wondered if the type of laser was related to the price and what I could expect from cheaper laser treatment...
I recently (8 days ago) had my varicose veins stripped from my leg. I notice a huge difference but I also notice that I still have bumps all over my leg. Is this normal? Will they ever go completely away?
Need experience injecting saline into facial vein that is too big for laser. One vein size of a pea. Is part of a longer vein near jaw/chin. $400 for one needle prick, the same for several veins! Retreat is another $400. Afraid of removing all of vein in case it rises in worse place. Want to try a small amount, so I don't want to pay $400. Want to be sure this vein is not needed in this...
I had sclerotherapy at a top Park Avenue clinic, very well known and highly touted. They completely ruined my legs. What was initially a tiny little area of light spider veins became a large, extended area of dark angry spider veins following the treatment. I was told it was an allergic reaction to the solution, commonly seen in fair skinned redheads, and unexpected for me since I am a medium...
I have never had any type of facial surgery but I am 25 and am interested in having fillers as well as treating the two blue veins under each eye. I would like to treat the blue veins with laser but I realize not all surgeons have experience with this, I found a surgeon in San Diego I was going to see but would like to find one locally with this experience.
