Spider Veins
Spider veins may seem like a small cosmetic issue—but they can be an early sign of underlying vein disease. At Elite Vascular, we offer safe, effective, and non-surgical treatments to eliminate spider veins and address any deeper circulation problems that may be contributing to their development.
What Are Spider Veins?
Restore Confidence & Comfort with Minimally Invasive Vein Care
Spider veins are small, thin, web-like veins that appear just beneath the surface of the skin—typically on the legs, ankles, or face. They are usually red, blue, or purple in color and may look like a spider web or tree branches.
Unlike larger varicose veins, spider veins usually don’t bulge, but they can still cause symptoms and often affect how confident you feel about your appearance.
Common Symptoms of Spider Veins
Spider veins are often painless, but they may come with:
Mild itching or burning
Aching legs at the end of the day
Throbbing or restlessness in the legs
Feeling self-conscious in shorts or dresses
While they may seem purely cosmetic, spider veins can be a sign of venous reflux disease, especially if they cluster around the ankle or are accompanied by symptoms like swelling or heaviness.
What Causes Spider Veins?
Spider veins develop when tiny blood vessels near the surface of the skin become dilated due to increased venous pressure. Common causes include:
Genetics (family history of spider or varicose veins)
Hormonal changes (pregnancy, birth control, menopause)
Prolonged sitting or standing
Weight fluctuations
Sun exposure (especially for facial spider veins)
Women are more likely to develop spider veins, but they affect men as well—particularly those with active or standing-heavy jobs.

Vein Conditions We Treat
Those visible varicose and spider veins on your legs aren’t just annoying, they’re often symptoms of vein disease, also known as “chronic venous insufficiency.” This causes poor circulation, a condition where blood pools in veins and makes them bulge.
