Condition Spider Vein
Spider Vein
Spider veins are small, visible blood vessels that appear near the surface of the skin, often on the face or legs. They may be red, blue, or purple and can result from genetics, sun exposure, or changes in circulation. While generally harmless, many clients seek treatment to improve skin clarity and appearance.
Common Causes of Spider Veins
Several factors can contribute to the development of spider veins, including:
Genetics: Family history increases the likelihood of developing spider veins.
Aging: Vein walls weaken over time, making veins more visible.
Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, menopause, and hormonal therapies can affect vein health.
Prolonged Standing or Sitting: Poor circulation can lead to vein dilation.
Sun Exposure: Especially on the face, UV damage can cause visible capillaries.
Injury or Trauma: Damage to blood vessels can lead to spider veins.
