What Are Spider Veins?
Spider veins — also called telangiectasias — are small, thin, web-like blood vessels visible through the skin, typically appearing as red, blue, or purple clusters on the legs, thighs, and ankles. They are caused by increased pressure in the veins, hormonal changes, heredity, or prolonged standing.
While spider veins are largely a cosmetic concern, they can sometimes cause symptoms such as burning, itching, or mild aching. At Lone Star Vein Clinic, Dr. Abdullah offers highly effective, minimally invasive treatments to eliminate spider veins and restore smooth, clear skin.
