What are spider veins?

Spider veins (telangiectasia) are tiny, thread-like blood vessels that tend to appear in patterns resembling spiderwebs on your skin. They can develop anywhere but are especially common on the legs and face. For most people, spider veins aren't medically significant — they're more often a cosmetic issue than a sign of an underlying health problem. Having spider veins sometimes indicates a likelihood of developing other vascular conditions, like varicose veins. Your primary care provider can assess you for disorders like these.
