Spider veins were treated with microsclerotherapy, a series of tiny injections that close the veins so they fade. Spider veins fade gradually, and many people need more than one session.

After treatment: the same thigh 8 weeks later — **Woman in her 30s, outer thigh**8 weeks after a single session of microsclerotherapy

Before treatment: spider veins on the back of the calf — **Woman in her 60s, back of the calf**6 weeks after the second of two sessions of microsclerotherapy

After treatment: the same calf 6 weeks after a second session — **Woman in her 60s, back of the calf**6 weeks after the second of two sessions of microsclerotherapy

Before treatment: spider veins on the backs of both calves and knees — **Woman in her 50s, backs of both calves**6 weeks after the second of two sessions of microsclerotherapy

After treatment: the same legs 6 weeks after a second session — **Woman in her 50s, backs of both calves**6 weeks after the second of two sessions of microsclerotherapy

No editing

The photos have not been retouched or altered, apart from cropping to protect privacy.
