What are some nonsurgical treatments for spider veins?

Some non-surgical treatments for spider veins include support stockings, lifestyle changes and sclerotherapy, according to WebMD. Support stockings are available for purchase from most surgical supply stores and can provide immediate, non-surgical relief from spider veins when they present painful symptoms.

General lifestyle changes can help to treat the symptoms of spider veins, notes WebMD. Such changes can include additional exercise, such as daily walking, good skin hygiene, and weight loss if necessary. A minimally invasive, outpatient procedure known as sclerotherapy, which can cause a spider vein to gradually disappear over 3 to 6 weeks, is also available at a relatively low cost.
