As the name suggests, spider veins are delicate veins that take the form of a spider web. These veins are usually red, but sometimes they can appear purple in color. Spider veins are medically harmless in that they don’t pose any physical restrictions or pain. But spider veins may be a symptom of a deeper medical condition, such as an autoimmune disease. Spider veins can get worse and need to be treated. As they most often appear on the face or legs, you may suffer from depression or low self-esteem because they affect overall appearance. Due to this reason, you may choose to have them treated in a cosmetic procedure.
