Spider veins tend to develop as a result of genetics, aging, pregnancy or carrying excess weight.
Typically, red in color and web-like in appearance, they’re smaller than varicose veins and can be seen clearly under the skin. They don’t share the same bulging characteristic as varicose veins. They can occur on the legs and may even appear on the face in some cases.
There are occasions where spider veins can be a symptom of a more serious medical condition. If our initial consultation suggests your spider veins are more than a cosmetic issue, we’ll refer you for a more detailed medical exam.

Primary Care vs Vein Specialist
Primary care physician possesses a broad knowledge base that covers a range of ailments and diseases. While they can diagnose vein disease correctly, they may not have the same level of expertise in this specific area.
Therefore, if you suspect that you may be suffering from vein disease, it is often more prudent to seek the guidance of a vein treatment specialist directly. By doing so, you increase the chances of receiving an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment without the risk of being misdiagnosed or experiencing delayed care. Ultimately, a vein treatment specialist's specialized focus and expertise make them the ideal choice for addressing vein diseases comprehensively and effectively.
