VARICOSE VEINS PATTERN
  • Varicose veins often appear as enlarged veins
    that twist and bulge in a rope-like pattern. They
    can be blue, red, or flesh-colored. They are
    often found on the back of the calves, inner and
    front thighs, or anywhere in the leg above and
    below the knee. In addition, they can be found
    deeper under the surface of your skin.

  • Varicose veins contain valves that are damaged,
    they hold more blood at a higher pressure than
    normal. This extra pressure forces fluid into the
    surrounding tissue which causes your leg to swell
    and feel tired and achy. Approximately 70 of all
    patients with varicose veins have parents with a
    similar condition.

RETICULAR AND SPIDER VEINS
  • Reticular and Spider veins are smaller
    superficial veins (usually less 1 millimeter in
    diameter), much smaller than varicose veins, but
    still visible. They are the mildest form of
    venous insufficiency and rarely cause physical
    symptoms.

5
  • These thread-like veins often resemble red, blue,
    or purple spider webs closer to the skins
    surface. They can cover a small or large area of
    the legs. Although spider veins normally dont
    cause discomfort, the deeper veins that are
    associated with them do.
