My dad had surgery for it just recently because he's were really bad. But the surgery was easy and there was brusing for about a week and a half bout now there are no long term consquences with it and he feels a lot beter.
Also, for the pain he had a long sock he'd wear on that leg that supported the viens.

The muscles in your calves play a major role in the blood circulation of your lower body; those muscles are sometimes called the "heart of the lower body". The more you use those muscles, the fewer new spider veins will appear in the future.
Surgery is no longer the only way to deal with spider veins. Laser and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy are both preferred methods of treatment, although of course they're not cheap.
Please beware of topical treatments - creams and pills, in other words. They don't help. They're a scam, a waste of your money.
I'm not exactly sure how well that works, but i googled it and that's what i came up with. If you don't find what you're looking for there then try googling it, there seemed to be a lot of other options also. good luck!
