Thread vein cream

I have started getting thread veins on my cheeks (just like my mother!). Read article about a fab cram that is supposed to zap them (I think in Grazia mag months ago) but now can't remember what it was called. Think it was something like ThreadAway or something like that. Any idea or any other top tips?
Here I am complete with thread veins:

can't see how a cream can get rid of them-you need laser or electolysis. You could COVER them with a cream.

There are creams that claim to reduce them, (normally based on Vitamin K iirc) - I've used a couple but they made bugger all difference sadly. Can't remember the names but I think one of the brands was Aussie Doctors or something??

I'd be interested to see if anyone has had any success with creams as I don't fancy being zapped - but it may be the only solution I guess. Has anyone had any success/experience with zapping?

I have thread veins on either side of my nose, and have had them lasered and tried sclerotherapy (where they are injected).

Both are effective to a degree, but mine have come back (or new ones develop). I go to a place in Harley Street for the laser treatment, and they charge (I think) £30 a time, which isn't too bad.

It's a very easy and quick and only really painful if they're doing veins around your septum.
