not an instantaneous cure strimedix k requires patience and consistency [SEP] i was originally looking for a quick cure for my spider veins stirmedix k is by no means quick acting i have gone through an entire bottle of the stuff and though it is working it works very slowlyin order to work at all the product must be applied faithfully twice every day morning and evening it is very important that you observe the instruction to moisten the skin with warm water doing so will help assure a deeper and more thorough penetration of the productalso be prepared to make a commitment to this product or any similar product that you use once you stop using it the veins will slowly and surely come back for me it is worth the after adding shipping and handling i pay for the stuff every few weeks
