Vein Treatment FAQ’s & Information
Types of Veins
At one end of the spectrum, small spider veins are the smallest vein types. These are usually of most concern to women and can occur anywhere on the legs, but more often on the inside of the knee and outer thigh. Venulectasias are slightly larger veins that occur in groups – you’ll regularly see them with spider veins.
Veins & Venous Disease
There are two main types of blood vessels in the body and these are arteries and veins. Your arteries have thick walls and move blood away from your heart, while your veins have thinner walls and return the same blood to your heart, minus much of the oxygen and nutrients. To do their job, arteries are tough enough to cope with the pressure-generated by the heart to push the blood along, but veins can only withstand low pressure and, where possible, rely on gravity to return blood to the heart. In the legs, your veins need to work against gravity and so pressure can build up in those closest to the skin’s surface. This can cause the valves within the veins, which are there to help prevent the blood flowing backwards, to fail. This, in turn, leads to venous reflux, venous disease and varicose veins.
Problems With Varicose Veins
Does size matter?
Small varicose veins can be a cosmetic concern, and this is a very real problem for women who want to feel confident about their appearance and enjoy an active Australian lifestyle – wear skirts or shorts, or go to the beach. However, it is also often the case that people with spider veins are on their way towards greater veins problems.
