Veins
Visible veins whether fine spider veins threading across the face, or the larger, more prominent varicose veins that map themselves across the legs, are an extremely common and confidence-affecting concern that impacts millions of men and women worldwide. Caused by a combination of genetics, hormonal changes, prolonged standing or sitting, pregnancy, and the natural aging process, unwanted visible veins can range from a purely cosmetic concern to a source of genuine physical discomfort causing aching, heaviness, swelling, and fatigue in the affected limbs. Regardless of their severity, visible veins have a profound impact on body confidence, clothing choices, and the freedom to live and move with confidence.
Veins appear most often on the legs, feet or face. Treatment reduces their appearance and any associated discomfort.
Varicose veins affect approximately 23% of adults with spider veins even more prevalent, affecting up to 80% of women and 40% of men at some point in their lives
Varicose veins can cause significant physical symptoms including aching, heaviness, throbbing, swelling, itching, and fatigue in the affected leg symptoms that worsen with prolonged standing and improve with elevation and compression
Spider veins on the face are caused by sun damage and rosacea. Chronic UV exposure and rosacea-related vascular reactivity are the most common causes of the fine, visible capillaries and broken blood vessels that appear on the face
