Explore how celebrities tackle spider veins. Learn about their experiences and the treatments they've undergone.
Women are twice as susceptible to suffering from spider veins as men. This is true even among celebrities. Many of the rich and famous suffer from spider veins and a select few have been open about their treatment.
Spider veins are very normal, and you should never feel embarrassed or self-conscious about them. If you do decide you would like to have them removed, there are plenty of treatment options available.
To find out which of your favorite celebrities have been treated for spider veins before, check out the list below.
Spears began to notice varicose veins during her pregnancy, which is very common. This is due to hormone and weight changes that naturally occur during pregnancy.
Spears was one of many people who sought treatment for her spider veins. She received a kind of expensive laser treatment that allowed her to get right back to performing.
Davis was subject to some horrible and inappropriate paparazzi ridicule when her varicose veins were captured on camera in 2008. After these pictures came to life, Davis sought treatment for them.
Her treatment helped to get rid of her spider veins once and for all. Many have speculated that the long hours spent wearing heels during "Sex and the City" could have been what led to the condition in the first place.
Emma Thompson, well known for her amazing on-screen performances, has also been treated for varicose veins in the past. She has spoken positively about her journey with spider veins and vein restoration.
It's not clear what exact treatment she received for her spider veins. However, one very well-known treatment is sclerotherapy, which uses injections to add liquid to a vein. It then closes up and disappears. It's possible Thompson and other celebrities could have used this treatment to get rid of their spider veins for good.
Williams' spider veins may have been the reason for her pulmonary embolism in 2011. When these kinds of veins are left untreated, they can lead to vein conditions like blood clots, which cause much more serious issues. It's possible spider veins were the reasons for Williams' health scare.
Of course, she received treatment for her embolism and her spider veins. While no one should feel inclined to get their spider veins treated for cosmetic reasons, they may often hide other serious health issues, so it is best to get them seen.
Pannu revealed on Instagram that she had her spider veins removed just six weeks before she started training for two separate sports movies. She was completely confident showing off her mild scarring, which seemed to only serve to remind her that she could overcome anything.
