Although they’re typically harmless, these veins can impact confidence for many people. At Define Clinic, we offer advanced, minimally invasive treatments to help reduce and clear these imperfections, enhancing the natural appearance of your legs.

Understanding Leg Thread Veins

Leg thread veins, also called spider veins, appear as thin, web-like or branch-like lines on the skin’s surface, often in shades of blue, purple or red. Though generally harmless and painless, they can impact confidence, especially when showing your legs in warmer months. Unlike varicose veins, which are much larger, deeper and often appear twisted or lumpy, thread veins are smaller and closer to the skin. Several factors contribute to leg thread veins. Genetics play a large role, and the condition is more common in women. Ageing also weakens vein valves, making thread veins more likely as we get older. Other contributing factors include pregnancy, weight gain and extended periods of sitting or standing, which makes the heart work harder to pump blood upwards. Hormonal influences such as birth control use or menopause can also be a contributing factor to developing thread veins. 

If leg veins are affecting your confidence, our skin specialists offer quick and effective treatments.
