Spider veins are small, dilated blood vessels that develop just beneath the skin’s surface, appearing as red, blue, or purple web-like patterns. They most commonly affect the legs and face and may result from genetics, aging, hormonal changes, prolonged standing, or sun exposure. While spider veins are usually harmless, they can cause discomfort, itching, or aching in some individuals. Over time, these veins may become more pronounced and widespread, making early treatment beneficial for both cosmetic and medical reasons. Effective treatments, such as laser vein removal and saline injections, can eliminate these visible veins, improving skin clarity and overall confidence while preventing further progression of the condition.
