Visible veins are the fine red or blue threads that surface on the nose, the cheeks, or the legs, small superficial vessels that have become visible where they were once unseen. They are common, harmless in most cases, and readily met by closing the vessel gently so the skin reads clear again.
Treatment suits patients with fine, superficial spider veins on the face or the legs, the small red or blue threads that are cosmetic rather than medical. It suits those bothered by a ruddy nose or a cluster on the thigh that has spread quietly across years.
It also suits patients who would rather address the vessels than continue covering them, since the result is genuinely permanent for each vein treated.
Small superficial vessels become visible when their walls weaken and dilate, letting the vessel show through the skin. Genetics is the strongest predictor, and patients who have them often have a parent who did.
On the face, sun damage and rosacea are common contributors, along with anything that repeatedly flushes the skin. On the legs the cause is more often pressure: prolonged standing, pregnancy, hormonal change, and the simple mechanics of blood returning uphill against gravity.
You may notice:
Visible vessels tend to accumulate. New ones appear across the years as the skin thins, sun damage builds, and vessel walls lose their elasticity. Leg veins in particular are often first noticed after a pregnancy or a period of prolonged standing.
They do not resolve on their own. A treated vein is gone for good, since the vessel is closed and absorbed, but the tendency remains and new vessels can surface over time.
