  1. The Guide To Recognize The Signs And Symptoms Of Spider Veins Spider veins are small, thin veins visible just under the skin's surface, resembling spider webs or marble patterns. However, some patients do experience painful spider veins symptoms. For instance, you may suffer from uncomfortable swelling, tenderness, itching, and leg restlessness. Vein treatment can help alleviate any pain and discomfort.

  2. The root cause lies in malfunctioning valves within feeder veins. Unhealthy valves in these veins allow blood to flow backward instead of upward toward the heart. This can lead to the development of non- functional, 'dead end' veins visible as spider veins beneath the skin's surface. Explore the video below to learn more about spider veins and available treatment options. The factors contributing to the development of spider veins share similarities with those for small varicose veins, and include: Obesity: Extra weight places additional pressure on the veins. Age: While spider veins are not exclusive to older individuals, the likelihood increases over time due to wear and tear on vein valves. This wear and tear make it more challenging for blood to flow properly, potentially leading to blood pooling. Pregnancy: The need to support increased blood volume during pregnancy can result in enlarged veins and the development of spider veins. Genetics: The risk of developing spider veins is higher if others in the family have experienced them. Sedentary Lifestyle: Extended periods of sitting or standing can restrict blood flow and contribute to blood pooling. Gender: Women are more susceptible to spider veins due to hormonal changes experienced during pregnancy and menopause. Spider vein treatments, typically performed in-office, are efficient and usually completed in less than an hour. Sclerotherapy, a common treatment choice, involves the injection of a solution by a trained provider to close down the affected vein. This minimally invasive procedure offers an effective solution to alleviate both the visible and painful aspects of spider veins.
