Spider Veins Treatment and Causes

by Samuel P. Martin, MD, FACS, Medical Director at Vascular Vein Centers
Spider veins (also called telangiectasias) are small superficial blood vessels in the skin. They get their name because their appearance is similar to that of a spider web. They most commonly appear as blue or purple spider web-like patterns on the inner and outer thighs, calves, back of the knees and the ankle area.

Spider veins can be the tip of the iceberg as a sign of underlying vein disease. Some people complain of warmth or discomfort over spider patterns. Do your spider veins or profession indicate high risk factors for vein disease?

What’s Causing Your Spider Veins?
Many factors can contribute to the development of these unattractive veins. Some can be avoided or improved, but many of these factors are out of your control:
Heredity
Hormones
Pregnancy
Weight gain
Age
Trauma
Surgery

Prolonged standing or sitting required by many professions can contribute to the development and reoccurrence of spider veins.
