Visible veins are the top beauty woe for thousands to women – and they’re more likely to appear on the legs than anywhere else on the body.

PROFESSIONAL SOLUTIONS

Clinics offer a number of options, from Sclerotherapy, which kills off small veins by injecting them with a chemical, to EVLT, a laser treatment that can zap more prominent varicose veins. But before you decide which to go for, it’s vital to have an ultrasound scan. ‘It will look at the existing veins and also the deeper veins to make sure they are healthy,’ says Mr Rittoo, vascular surgeon at The Private Clinic (www.theprivateclinic.co.uk, 0800 599 9916). Prices vary dramatically depending on the clinic and the treatment, but zapping veins will cost at least a few hundred pounds.
