Say Goodbye to Spider Veins

What are Spider Veins?

Spider veins are thread-sized blood vessels that can pop up just about anywhere on your body, though they most often appear on the face and legs.

They can be red, blue or purple in color — and get their name from the web-like pattern they create just below the surface of the skin.

Although spider veins don’t pose a health risk, they can impact your confidence, especially if you can’t completely conceal them with makeup.

What Causes Spider Veins?

When the blood vessels in the face or legs become dilated — usually as a result of poor circulation — non-functional thin, web-like spider veins can appear.

Spider veins typically affect adults over the age of 30, and are often linked to genetics, obesity, pregnancy or physical trauma.

They tend to become more numerous and visible with age, as the skin thins and becomes more translucent.

Accumulated sun damage can also play a role in their severity.
