What are Spider Veins?
The exact cause of spider veins is not proven, but
heredity, local trauma, and hormonal levels are believed
to be contributing factors. Spider veins become more
numerous with age, and are twice as common in women.
Spider veins are formed by the dilation of the small veins
under the surface of the skin, mostly on the legs. They
look like red or purple sunbursts or web patterns. Spider
veins are also referred to as telangiectasia or broken
capillaries. They usually pose no health hazard but may
produce a dull aching or burning in the legs after
prolonged standing.
Causes of Spider Veins
Treatment of Spider Veins
Sclerotherapy is the best and safest treatment for spider
veins. It causes minimal discomfort.
Sclerotherapy generally requires multiple treatment
sessions. Post-treatment therapy includes wearing
compression bandages or support hose for two days to
three weeks following treatment. Although sclerotherapy
works for current spider veins, it does not prevent future
ones from developing.
