THREAD VEINS
Thread veins, also known as spider veins, are tiny prominent veins that lie just beneath the surface of the skin. Their distinctive branching pattern resembles a spider’s web, hence the name. Although spider veins can appear anywhere on the body, they are most frequently found on the legs and face. Thread veins are an incredibly common problem, affecting around 80% of all adults at some point in their lives. Reticular veins are a type of superficial venous presentation closely related to varicose veins and spider veins. They form spidery blue and purple masses that typically appear on the backs of the legs and ankles.
Laser treatment for spider veins and reticular veins involves targeting the vein directly with a beam of light, which causes blood clots to form that block off and destroy the veins. Laser therapy is a popular and safe option to treat spider and reticular veins.
