Spider Veins

Otherwise known as telangiectasias, spider veins are tiny, superficial veins that are often red or blue and appear as arborizing webs or isolated threads on the surface of the skin. Spider veins are often caused by venous insufficiency, a situation whereby blood flows abnormally downward in the veins of the leg . However, spider veins can also be caused by hereditary factors, hormonal changes, and increasing age. They are more commonly seen in women. They pose no medical threat but can occasionally be associated with symptoms such as burning or aching pain. Microsclerotherapy is the best and most effective treatment for spider veins.
