6.  The future

 

As you are clearly predisposed to formation of thread veins it is likely that new or recurrent veins may develop in the future. In order to discourage the occurrence of further veins you should exercise as much as possible, maintain normal weight and consider wearing light support stockings or tights particularly when standing for long periods. Even if more flares develop, the treatment can always be repeated in the future.
