Spider Veins

What is Spider Veins?

Spider veins, medically known as telangiectasias, are small, thin blood vessels that appear close to the surface of the skin. They are typically red, blue, or purple and form web-like patterns, resembling a spider's web. Spider veins commonly appear on the legs, face, and other areas of the body.

They can result from various factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, prolonged standing or sitting, obesity, aging, or sun exposure. While usually harmless, spider veins can sometimes cause discomfort, itching, or a burning sensation. Many individuals seek treatment for cosmetic reasons or to relieve symptoms.
