Varicose veins are the visible, large, raised, swollen blood vessels that are unsightly and often painful. Usually developed in the legs, they are also twisted and turning. This condition affects more women than men, and can be a side effect of pregnancy. Veins have one-way valves to ensure blood returns from the legs to the heart against gravity. But when the valves leak, blood will pool in the veins, causing them to become enlarged (varicose).

Spider veins, also known as telangiectasia are also visible through the skin. They are most often seen on the legs, chest, or face. It is the visible threadlike patterns of blood vessels on the surface of the skin. Usually, these blood vessels are expanding and contracting under various conditions. For people with spider veins visible on the skin, it's usually because the blood vessels are dilated or broken. These threadlike lines can range in color from red to blue or purple. It is rarely a medical concern, but can affect your facial appearance, making your complexion look reddish.

Varicose veins are commonly treated with endovenous ablation. Endovenous means the procedure is carried out inside the vein, and ablation (or laser) means heat is used to burn or close off the vein. It is a minimally invasive image-guided treatment. In the procedure, a small incision will be made and a fiber or electrode is moved to the desired location within the vein. The vein will collapse around the fiber or electrode that acts as insulation for the energy’s heat. The resultant heat will cause the vein to close. Gradually, the varicose veins will shrink.

Spider Veins can be treated with ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy. In some cases, this method can also be used to treat varicose veins that are not serious. To perform the procedure, a saline solution will be injected into the vein, causing it to swell and stick together. The vessel will then turn into a scar tissue and gradually fade.
