Spider Veins
Spider veins, the tiny red or purple clusters of veins commonly found on the face or legs, are one of the most common vascular conditions, but their presence in highly visible areas is not always ideal. At Delta Laser and Skin Care Centre, we offer multiple treatment options to safely and effectively remove these unappealing veins without surgery or downtime.
What Causes Spider Veins?
Also known as telangiectasias, spider veins are named for the way they branch out across the skin like spider webs. These veins are typically not a cause for medical concern, but their cosmetically-unappealing presence causes thousands of men and women to get them removed every year.
Spider veins can be caused by a variety of factors. Spider veins on the legs are primarily caused by gravity as the blood attempts to pump from the legs back up to the heart. On the face, spider veins can be caused by:
- Sun exposure
- Aging
- Genetics
- Trauma
- Certain medical conditions
- Excessive smoking or drinking
