From the description, it is difficult to classify or stage your veins, so I'll make it simple. If you don't like the appearance of your leg veins, it is worthwhile seeing specialist such as a vascular surgeon, whose area of expertise is treatment of blood vessels, including veins. Vascular surgery is a recognized specialty board whose participants demonstrate expertise in the treatment of veins. A board certified vascular surgeon is qualified to address any of venous issues.
The most important thing you can do is see someone who specializes in treating vein disease and get their opinion in person. A doctor certified by the American Board of Venous & Lymphatic Medicine has demonstrated commitment to treating vein disease and has gone through a rigorous certification process. Treatment for varicose veins is usually a combination of:
1. Endovenous ablation (a laser catheter vein treatment)
2. Microphlebectomy (a minimally invasive vein removal procedure)
3. Sclerotherapy (injection of medication into the vein to dry it up).
Only an experienced, dedicated vein doctor can tell you what the right combination is for you. Check outwww.abvlm.org to find a doctor.

Injection sclerotherapy is a treatment that can be used to improve the look of spider veins in the lower extremities. The treatment is most effective when used to treat small veins (less than 5 mm in diameter). The procedure involves injecting a pharmaceutical solution into the vein, causing the vessel’s walls to seal shut. Blood is automatically directed to healthier vessels, and the treated vein gradually resolves. The procedure is minimally invasive and patients can return to their normal daily activities immediately. Injection sclerotherapy is effective, however, if there is an underlying venous insufficiency, reoccurrence is possible. Optimally, patients should be evaluated by a vascular specialist to ensure which treatment options will be most beneficial for them.
By definition varicose veins (VV) are dilated, elongated, winding, and tortuous bulging superficial leg veins. The distended vein wall triggers secondary valvular incompetence which in turn is responsible for the abnormal gravitational downhill flow (reflux in medical terms). The engorged vein full de-oxygenated blood causes the "dark look" of VV. If the mandatory ultrasound examination performed only in an upright position confirms the existence of reversed flow, the veins need to be either closed (sclerotherapy or thermal ablation) or removed by surgery. Today all forms of treatment are performed in an office setting and local anesthesia, if necessary. In my 30 years experience with VV the least good results are obtained with sclerotherapy and the best are with surgery. However, he old fashioned stripping surgery is by now outdated yet the minimally invasive ambulatory hook removal of the VV - I have personally performed in over 3500 cases - is giving by far the best cosmetic and long term results www.gorenveincenter.com). No down time is required and the quality of life is not altered.
There are several ways to treat dark varicose veins and the doctor is trained in all of these methods. Making a decision about which procedure to use depends on the size of the dark area and symptoms. All treatments are done in office and require no downtime. Sometimes a dark spot is caused by thickened or leaking blood which can be drained easily. In order to decide exactly what treatment you need, it is best to book a complimentary consultation with the doctor. His evaluation will include a venous ultrasound evaluation as well as his expert opinion based on his treatment of thousands of vein patients.
Varicose veins can be treated using sclerotherapy injections. First however, evaluation of the venous system using duplex ultrasound examination is advised to determine the extent of the problem beneath the surface. Consultation with a specialist in venous disease is recommended.
The optimal treatment of your varicose veins is dependent on their size and the flow in veins deeper in the leg. This is best determined with a venous ultrasound (duplex scan).
Treatment options can range from sclerotherapy to micro-phlebectomy to endogenous ablation.
You should anticipate nearly complete resolution of your varicose veins.

Firstly, you need to be evaluated by a physician who specializes in vein management, perhaps a vascular surgeon. if these are spider veins, then sclerotherapy, injecting a chemical into the vein to seal the vein, would be appropriate. if you have skin discoloration ,usually brown, this may occur as the result of blood leakage out of the vein. to determine this an venous ultrasound would be necessary, as there may be a valve problem further up the leg with blood flow refluxing, or going down the leg.
