What are spider veins?<\/h2>\n
\n

Spider veins are tiny, thin veins that vary in color and can be seen just below the surface of the skin. They are purple, blue, pink or red and typically resemble a spider’s web and may feel flat or slightly raised. <\/p>\n

Similar to varicose veins, spider veins on the face, hands and limbs can be accompanied by pain. At our vein center, we can help you with the treatment of spider veins in Berlin. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

How do spider veins develop?<\/h2>\n
\n

They are so called because they remind us of cobwebs. Sometimes the descriptions also say that they look like marble. <\/p>\n

Location
\n<\/strong>They usually appear in the legs, sometimes also in the chest, face or hands.<\/p>\n

Causes
\n<\/strong>Spider veins in the legs, hands and face are caused<\/strong>by unhealthy valves in the feeder veins that allow blood to flow backwards instead of upwards, towards the heart. Some of this accumulated blood can lead to non-functioning “dead-end” veins, which appear as spider veins under the surface of the skin. <\/p>\n

Origin
\n<\/strong>Many of us will at some point encounter problems with vein health that are usually hereditary. If your parents or grandparents had spider veins, you are more likely to develop them too. Pregnancy or a job that requires prolonged standing can exacerbate the condition or increase the risk. We are therefore happy to provide you with information on treatment. <\/p>\n

There are a number of factors that put people at a higher risk of developing spider veins.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

\"Thrombosis<\/span><\/div>

Factors for the development of spider veins:<\/h2>\n
\n

Obesity
\n<\/strong>Extra weight puts additional pressure on the veins.<\/p>\n

Age
\n<\/strong>Although spider veins do not only occur in older people, the disease progresses over time. This is because venous valves are subject to greater wear and tear over time. This impedes blood flow and can lead to blood pooling. <\/p>\n

Pregnancy
\n<\/strong>To support a baby during pregnancy, the blood volume almost doubles, which leads to dilated veins and possibly spider veins.<\/p>\n

Genetics
\n<\/strong>The likelihood of developing spider veins increases if other family members suffer from them.<\/p>\n

Sedentary lifestyle
\n<\/strong>Prolonged sitting or standing restricts blood circulation and can lead to blood pooling.<\/p>\n

Gender
\n<\/strong>Due to the hormonal changes that women often experience during pregnancy and the menopause, spider veins are more common in women.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

\"Spider<\/span><\/div>

Prevent spider veins<\/h2>\n
\n

Some risk factors for spider veins cannot be avoided. However, you can prevent this with the following tips: <\/p>\n

Exercise
\n<\/strong>Exercise promotes healthy blood circulation. Even something as simple as walking can improve vein health. <\/p>\n

A balanced diet
\n<\/strong>A high-fiber diet low in salt, processed foods and sugar can improve vein health.<\/p>\n

Change position
\n<\/strong>Avoid sitting, standing or sitting for too long. Change position frequently or take a short walk. <\/p>\n

Raise your legs
\n<\/strong>Raising your legs above your heart supports blood circulation in the veins by relieving pressure and stress.<\/p>\n

Compression stockings<\/strong>
\nCompression stockings<\/a> can support the blood flow and reduce the pressure in the veins. They are particularly useful for activities that require standing or sitting for long periods.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
