Thread veins

Does anyone have a cream that significantly reduces the site of red thread veins? I have a few "solo" ones on my leg that don't bother me but also a clump of them that look like a nasty bruise. My legs are my best feature so still like to get them out (and do!)
TIA

I has this issue after years of working standing up & walking around the wards.
I also like to wear shorts & short dresses.

I find getting a tan helps with the appearance of them but obviously I shouldn't recommend sitting in the sun even with sun lotion on (as I do) as that's not the safest way to get a tan, fake tan is the safest option. Or some people use a leg make up of some kind.

Usually at parties in winter months I've worn very fine denier natural look tights but this Christmas work party I decided to go without tights or leg makeup in a short dress & I just got compliments on my outfit, actually one of the doctors asked me out. No one said anything about or seemed to even notice my thread veins.

I think you’d need laser on them. For a cream to work it would have to penetrate the skin to destroy the vessel but I don’t see how it could work.
