Spider veins are small, visible blood vessels that appear close to the surface of the skin, commonly on the legs. They may appear as red, blue or purple lines, often forming thin, web-like clusters.<\/p>

While spider veins are often a cosmetic concern, they can sometimes be associated with underlying vein problems <\/strong>such as venous reflux or chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), particularly when accompanied by symptoms such as aching, heaviness, swelling or itching.<\/p>

At The Vascular & Endovascular Clinic, our vascular specialists<\/a> assess spider veins and vascular skin lesions to determine whether they are limited to the skin\u2019s surface or related to an underlying vein condition.<\/p>

This helps guide whether treatment with laser, sclerotherapy or treatment of deeper veins may be appropriate.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Spider veins (telangiectasias<\/strong>) are tiny, damaged blood vessels that appear close to the skin’s surface. They often resemble delicate spider webs or tree branches.<\/p>

While they can develop anywhere on the body, they are most frequently found on the thighs, calves, and ankles due to the immense pressure of standing and walking.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
