What causes thread veins?
Thread veins, also known as spider veins, are networks of small, damaged veins that appear red or blue on our legs and feet. They are usually painless but may sometimes cause an itching or burning sensation.
No one is 100% sure why thread veins develop. Whilst thread veins affect almost the entire adult population, certain people are more prone to them than others. They may flare up during periods of hormonal change or even due to minor trauma such as little bumps and knocks.
If you have thread veins, it is important to have your legs and feet examined properly, including a non-invasive duplex ultrasound scan, before treatment. This is because thread veins are often associated with hidden varicose veins. As a result, finding and treating varicose veins makes treating thread veins much more effective.
