Spider Veins

Spider veins occur when blood flows backward due to weakened or damaged valves, causing blood to pool near the surface of the skin. Spider veins most commonly occur on the legs or face. Spider veins are an extremely common condition that can be caused by a variety of factors. Some of these factors include:

• Old age

• Gender – more common in females

• Genetics

• Pregnancy

• Obesity

• Sun damage
