All you need to know

What are Spider Veins?

Spider veins, also known as telangiectasia or thread veins, are damaged blood vessels located just beneath the skin’s surface. They appear in prominent clusters resembling spider legs and can be red, blue, or purple. While they are usually harmless, some individuals may experience mild itching or discomfort.

What Causes Spider Veins?

Veins transport blood back to the heart and contain valves that prevent backward blood flow. When these valves become damaged, blood can pool inside the vein, causing the spidery appearance beneath the skin.

Spider veins can be genetic and may also be triggered by hormonal changes, connective tissue diseases, injury, or trauma.
