Thread Veins (spider veins)
Thread veins (spider veins) are tiny red or blue veins that have become dilated and can appear on the legs as well as other parts of the body and the face. Some causes for thread veins include genetics, natural ageing, standing for long periods of time, pregnancy and even a bump or knock to the skin.
Although completely harmless, many of us find thread veins unsightly and look for effective, non-surgical ways to treat them.
