Are Spider Veins Hereditary?

When dealing with spider veins, there seems to be a genetic component to their development, and the exact cause is not fully understood. However, check out other factors that can also contribute to the development of spider veins, including age, pregnancy, and weight gain. Talk to our podiatrist for vein treatment in new hyde park, ny, about your specific situation today at PRINE Health! 

Did you know that Spider veins are commonly seen on the legs and face and can be unsightly? Though they are usually harmless, some people may experience discomfort or pain. Spider veins are often considered a cosmetic issue, but for some people, they can be a source of significant frustration.

Causes of Spider Veins

However, the cause of spider veins is not fully understood, but they are thought to be associated with a combination of factors, including heredity, age, pregnancy, and weight gain. While there is no sure way to prevent spider veins from developing, there are some things you can do to reduce your risk. If you have a family history of spider veins, you may be more likely to develop them yourself. Spider veins become more common as we age, so they may also be more likely to develop as we age. Spider veins may also be more likely to occur during pregnancy due to the increased pressure on the veins in the pelvis. If you are overweight or obese, you may be more likely to develop spider veins due to the increased pressure on your veins. Several treatments are available for spider veins, including sclerotherapy and laser therapy. These treatments can help to improve the appearance of spider veins and may also help to relieve any discomfort or pain associated with them. If you are concerned about spider veins, talk to your doctor about the best treatment options.

Injection Treatments

Varithena

Varithena is an FDA approved treatment for varicose veins, leg swelling, spider veins and more! Varithena is injected into your veins using an ultrasound for guidance to accurately determine the precise area of need. This treatment is a foam infusion that causes the varicose vein to safely close. Your blood will redirect through your surrounding healthy veins, allowing increased circulation and symptoms to improve.

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is an injection treatment used on varicose and spider veins. This foaming solution sticks to vein walls after the injection, causing the affected areas to rapidly close, removing any unsightly or bulbous veins. After treatment, circulation improves, and the visible appearance of the veins disappears.

How PRINE Vascular Can Help

Both spider and varicose veins arise from an underlying condition called venous insufficiency. Veins are responsible for transporting blood from your tissues back to your lungs in order to restore oxygen–the blood travels in one direction, which is ensured by valves that prevent blood from going backward. In venous insufficiency, these valves stop functioning properly and allow blood to pool in the venous structures. In the smaller, more superficial vasculature, this results in spider veins. Larger, bulging veins are called varicose veins. 

Spider veins can be treated with the process of sclerotherapy, where a chemical agent is injected into the vein and effectively closes it off, or phlebectomy, in which case the veins are physically removed from below the skin. For varicose veins, chemical and radiofrequency (heat) ablations exist, which function as another way to shut down the vein. Although the vein is closed off, blood is still able to travel through other smaller structures so that blood flow is uninterrupted.
