We’ve all seen them, those tiny, red jagged lines under the skin that spread out in various ways and never seem to go away. In fact, they tend to get worse over time. The name for those lines is spider veins and they can appear anywhere on your body but are most noticeable on the face. Some spider veins appear suddenly, some over time and some can appear in clusters of veins or other just a single vein.

What causes Spider Veins?

Veins carry blood through the body, and have valves that prevent the blood from flowing backwards but if the vein becomes weak the valve doesn’t function correctly causing the blood to leak back into the vein and collect or pool there. That collection shows up on the skin in the vein canal. Smaller veins that back up are called spider veins, large veins that back up are call varicose veins. Spider Veins can be an inherited trait or a result of lots of standing, hormones or even obesity can cause them. No matter which way they appear, how many there are or where they are on your skin, spider veins can diminish the overall look of your skin.
