What causes leg veins?

Leg veins, commonly known as spider veins, which usually appear red, purple, or blue, are an extremely common problem in women. They develop due to genetic factors, hormonal factors, and lifestyle factors.

What causes leg veins?

Genetics: Some individuals are genetically predisposed to develop spider veins. Just like we inherit hair, eye, and skin color from our parents, we can also inherit veins. Even if you are prone to vein disorders for genetic reasons, there are things you can do in the area of lifestyle changes to help prevent problems.
Hormones: Women have more venous disease than men. The reason for that is hormonal. Estrogen and progesterone have a tendency to cause blood vessels to dilate. When leg veins dilate, blood tends to pool at the lowest point in the system, i.e. around the feet and ankles.
Lifestyles: Prolonged standing or sitting causes blood to pool in the legs and keeps the veins in a distended state. When the veins are constantly stretched and distended, they begin to sprout new little veins, looking for the path of least resistance.

How do we treat leg veins?

We offer advanced vein treatment with Vbeam® Perfecta pulsed-dye laser. This laser is specially designed to target veins and reduce their appearance.

We can also combine this laser treatment with sclerotherapy, a minimally invasive in-office procedure that injects a solution directly into the spider veins, causing them to fade.

We recommend wearing compression stockings, which promotes blood flow from the legs to the heart, as well as exercise.

To help determine which spider vein treatment is right for you, schedule a consultation with one of our board-certified dermatologists.
