Thread Veins

As we age our skin become thinner and more fragile and as a result, the blood vessels under the skin can become much more visible. Other causes of thread veins can include pregnancy, overexposure to the sun, rosacea and lifestyle habits (drinking, smoking, standing for long durations of time, overuse of steroid cream).

They are most common on the legs, hands and the face and whilst thread veins are painless, the appearance can cause insecurity in individuals affected.
