What Are Spider Veins?
Spider veins, also known medically as telangiectasias or venulectasias, are the mildest manifestation of venous insufficiency — similar to varicose veins, but smaller. They are small, often tangled groups of tiny blood vessels just under the skin surface that frequently resemble spider webs or tree branches. They are generally red, blue, or purple and are clearly visible, usually on the thighs, lower legs, and face. While spider veins can sometimes cover large areas of skin, they are typically a cosmetic concern only and rarely cause physical symptoms.
