VEIN PROBLEMS
SPIDER VEINS, technically known as
telangiectasias, are tiny purple and red blood
vessels found most commonly on the thighs or lower
legs of women.
They are hereditary and can form
anywhere on the leg, from the top of the thigh to
the ankle. Occasionally spider veins appear on the
face.
RETICULAR VARICOSE VEINS are larger. They can appear
raised with a bluish color and can become quite
painful.
Although
spider veins and varicose veins carry blood, they
are not part of the venous valve system. Spider
veins and verticular varicose veins can be
eliminated permanently through sclerotherapy.
