I have suffered from broken veins - also called spider veins or thread veins - for a few years now. I used to do a lot of high impact sport which has over the years encouraged these veins to appear.Some people are possibly more predisposed to spider veins then others, but in all they a very, very common complaint indeed.
I really disliked and still do dislike the spider veins that I have on my legs. So I researched the internet and found this product by Skin Doctors. The reviews seemed quite good so I thought that I would give it a whirl. You really do have to perservere with this product every day to get any result at all. The product needs to be applied to warmly moistened skin, and so is best applied after a bath or shower. The cream itself has a nice moist consistency and massages well into the skin leaving little residue. There is no sensation after application as such to suggest that the cream is working.
This transdermal application allows the cream to penetrate the epidernmal layer and helps to repair where the capillaries have ruptured. Over time the red spider veins you see below the surface of the skin are meant to fade away and disappear.
I followed this practice for four months, but had very little improvement in the visual improvement of the veins themselves. For me, the product did not perform. Some people do experience better results from the cream, but many people choose to resort to treatments such as laser and sclerotherapy which can provide much faster results.
