Spider Veins

Spider and other leg veins develop when the small valves contained within the veins fail to function properly. Spider veins usually appear on the calves, back of the legs and knees.

Causes

Most spider veins are caused by venous hypertension or pregnancy. Some contributing factors include:

Genetics
Pregnancy
Hormones
Prolonged sitting or standing
Sudden changes in weight

Treatment

The treatment plan your provider creates will depend upon the location of your spider veins. These include:

Sclerotherapy
Laser therapy

There are steps you can take to reduce your chances of developing spider veins.

Exercise regularly
Maintain a healthy weight
Elevate your legs while resting
Don’t sit or stand for long periods of time
