Have you noticed thin, spidery veins on your legs or ankles? This is a common problem among
many adults in the US. In fact, an estimated 80% of men and 85% of women are affected by
spider veins, reticular veins, and/or varicose veins. Spider veins are simply dilated capillaries
near the surface of the skin. They can appear blue, purple, or red.
In addition to these visible veins, you may notice other spider vein symptoms, such as:
Although often viewed as harmless, spider veins are actually a sign of underlying vein disease,
also known as venous insufficiency. If left untreated, vein disease can cause a variety of painful
and uncomfortable symptoms. It can also eventually lead to more serious health conditions
like blood clots and venous ulcers.
If you’ve noticed the development or worsening of spider veins, we recommend consulting
with one of our vein specialists. You might be pleasantly surprised to learn how simple and
convenient spider vein treatment can be.

Spider Veins on Legs
We doubt that anybody welcomes the appearance of spider
veins. These visible veins can appear anywhere on the body,
including the face and hands. However, spider veins most
commonly show up on the legs. Some people with spider
veins on legs also experience nearby varicose veins.
We want you to know that spider veins on legs treatment is
widely available and rarely involves surgery. Spider vein
treatment is typically performed by a vein specialist in an
office-based setting.
