Spider veins, which are not to be confused with varicose veins, are small, thread-like abnormal veins that typically occur in the lower extremities of the body. Spider veins are characterised by their distinguished blue, red, or purple colour. Spider veins are extremely common, especially in women. For most patients, spider veins are merely an aesthetic concern. Luckily, our team here have devised a number of viable spider vein treatments. Sydney and Miranda residents around Sutherland Shire can contact us at their soonest convenience to arrange a consultation with one of our cosmetic team members. Spider veins, otherwise known as telangiectasis, occur as a result of damage to the valves of the blood vessels in the leg. Our blood vessels – veins, arteries, and capillaries – carry blood to and from the heart. Valves that prevent the backflow of blood are present in most blood vessels. When damaged, blood may begin to pool and result in the formation of spider veins.
