Sclerotherapy: The best option for eradicating leg veins is sclerotherapy. A solution containing glycerin, saline, or Sotradecol (a sodium sulfate compound) is injected into individual veins to irritate and collapse them. Each injection site stings for about five minutes; many doctors recommend that patients wear compression stockings for several days after the procedure to maximize results. Two or three treatments are usually necessary, and the veins will look worse before they get better (you should count on about a month before you see results). Be forewarned: You won't be vein-free forever; after a couple of years, new ones will probably form. Cost: $300 to $500 per treatment

Self-Tanner:If your veins don't bother you enough to consider needles (or dropping several hundred dollars), try a self-tanner. One coat will deepen your skin tone enough to make leg veins less noticeable. Or try a leg bronzer, which will camouflage veins—and wash off at the end of the day. Cost: $10 for L'Oréal Paris Sublime Bronze Luminous Bronzer Self-Tanning Lotion.
