What causes spider veins?

What causes spider veins?

Spider veins are typically the result of the dilation or enlargement of small blood vessels close to the skin's surface. Some common causes include:

  • A family history of spider veins 
  • Ageing, which can weaken leg veins 
  • Hormonal fluctuations, such as those that occur during the menopause 
  • Prolonged standing or sitting 
  • Excess body weight which places extra stress on the circulatory system
  • Pregnancy
  • Trauma or injury
  • Sun exposure
  • Blood clots
How to remove spider veins

How to remove spider veins

Spider vein removal can be achieved through various medical and cosmetic procedures. The choice of treatment depends on the size, location, and severity of your spider veins, as well as your personal preferences. 

Laser treatment, such as Candela Vbeam, is a popular, minimally invasive technique that uses wavelengths of light to target and heat the blood vessels, causing the treated vein to collapse and fade. However, while this can eliminate spider veins, it doesn’t prevent new spider veins from forming and may be required again later down the line.

How to prevent spider veins

How to prevent spider veins

While preventing spider veins may not always be possible, especially if you have a family history of varicose and spider veins, you can reduce your risk of developing spider veins or prevent existing ones from getting worse:

  • Take part in regular physical activity, such as walking or cycling, to help improve circulation
  • Maintain a healthy weight and fibre-rich diet
  • Elevate your legs after long periods of standing or sitting
  • Wear a compression stocking to improve blood flow
  • Wear sunscreen or limit sun exposure which can dilate blood vessels, especially on the face
  • Stay hydrated to maintain overall vascular health

Spider veins vs varicose veins

Varicose veins and spider veins are both visible veins near the surface of the skin, but they have distinct differences.

Varicose veins are typically larger and bulge out from the skin's surface. They often occur in the legs and may appear twisted or swollen. A varicose vein can extend deep into the leg and is more likely to cause symptoms, such as aching, pain, and swelling. 

Spider veins are much smaller than varicose veins and can appear on various parts of the body, including the face and legs. They don’t usually cause physical symptoms and are generally considered a cosmetic concern rather than a medical issue.

Frequently asked questions

Are spider veins dangerous?

Spider veins are not typically dangerous from a medical perspective. They are small, superficial blood vessels that look like fine spider webs or tree branches on the skin's surface and are generally harmless.

Do spider veins go away?

Unfortunately not. Once developed, spider veins tend to persist unless treated. However, various treatments can effectively reduce the appearance of spider veins or eliminate them altogether. 

Can laser remove spider veins?

Yes, laser therapy is a highly effective treatment for removing or significantly reducing the appearance of spider veins. Laser treatment can target and close off the affected veins, causing them to collapse and reducing their visible appearance on the skin surface. 

Laser therapy is particularly well-suited for smaller spider veins and is considered a non-invasive and minimally painful option for those looking to improve the cosmetic appearance of their skin. While it may require multiple sessions for optimal results, many people experience a noticeable reduction in the appearance of spider veins after one laser treatment session.

What deficiency causes spider veins?

While nutrient deficiencies are generally not a direct cause of spider veins, certain deficiencies may contribute to poor vascular health and could potentially exacerbate existing vein issues. Consider adding the following to your daily routine. 

  • Vitamin C - important for blood vessel health and collagen production. A deficiency can weaken vein walls, potentially making them more susceptible to dilation.
  • Vitamin K - involved in blood clotting, with a deficiency potentially affecting blood vessel integrity.
  • Vitamin E - an antioxidant that can help improve blood circulation and support vascular health.
  • Folate (Vitamin B9) - important for cell growth and repair.
