Overview

‍

Telangiectasias are commonly known as spider veins. They often appear on the surface of the skin and look like small red, blue or purple veins ressembling lace.
They may occur on their own or alongside other venous conditions.  They are either isolated or in groups. Even though they can be seen anywhere on the body, they are most often located on the lower limbs (thighs, calves and ankles). Spider veins are often primarily a cosmetic concern, although some people experience local discomfort, burning or itching.

Do not let spider vein prevent you from showing your legs with confidence! Sclerotherapy is one treatment option. Results vary, and potential side effects and suitability should be discussed during a medical consultation.
