Spider veins (telangiectasia) are small, dilated blood vessels that appear near the surface of the skin. They look like thin, web-like lines or branches, usually red, blue, or purple in colour. They most commonly appear on the legs and face but can develop anywhere on the body.
Spider veins are usually harmless but can be a cosmetic concern. In some cases, they may cause mild discomfort, such as aching, burning, or throbbing.
| Type | Description | Common Areas |
|---|---|---|
| Telangiectasia | Small, red or blue web-like veins near the skin surface | Face, legs |
| Reticular Veins | Slightly larger, blue-green veins | Thighs, calves |
| Varicose Veins | Larger, twisted, bulging veins (may require different treatment) | Legs |
Spider veins develop when the valves in your veins weaken, causing blood to flow backward and pool in the vein. This leads to the vein becoming enlarged and visible.
| Cause | Details |
|---|---|
| Genetics | Family history increases your risk |
| Hormonal Changes | Pregnancy, menopause, and birth control pills can contribute |
| Aging | Veins weaken over time |
| Prolonged Standing or Sitting | Increases pressure on leg veins |
| Obesity | Adds pressure on veins |
| Sun Exposure | Can cause spider veins on the face |
| Injury | Trauma to the skin can damage veins |
Spider veins are usually not a medical concern but can indicate an underlying circulation issue if accompanied by swelling, pain, or ulcers.
A dermatologist can usually diagnose spider veins through a physical examination. In some cases, an ultrasound may be recommended to check for underlying vein conditions.
| Diagnostic Approach | What It Checks |
|---|---|
| Physical Examination | Visible veins, skin changes |
| Medical History | Risk factors, symptoms, family history |
| Ultrasound | Underlying vein function and blood flow |
Treatment is tailored to the type, location, and severity of your spider veins. Our dermatologist will recommend the right approach after evaluation.
| Treatment | Best For | Sessions Needed | Downtime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Laser Therapy | Small, superficial spider veins | 2–4 sessions | None |
| Sclerotherapy | Medium-sized veins | 2–4 sessions | 24–48 hours |
| Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) | Facial spider veins | 2–3 sessions | None |
| Radiofrequency Ablation | Larger veins | 1–2 sessions | 2–3 days |
| Topical Treatments | Mild cases, maintenance | Ongoing | None |
Laser therapy uses focused light energy to heat and destroy the vein, causing it to fade over time.
Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution into the vein, causing it to collapse and fade.
IPL uses broad-spectrum light to target and fade facial spider veins.
Radiofrequency ablation uses heat to close larger veins.
For patients with multiple types of veins, a combination protocol produces the best outcomes. Dr. Asma designs a sequenced treatment plan based on your specific needs.
The cost of spider veins treatment depends on the treatment type, area, and number of sessions required.
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| Laser Therapy (per session) | Starting from ₹3,000 |
| Sclerotherapy (per session) | Starting from ₹4,000 |
| IPL (per session) | Starting from ₹3,500 |
