Spider Veins & Reticular Veins
What are spider veins? Spider Veins are extremely common. They are the tiny red or blue vessels that can appear anywhere on the body but more commonly on the legs, face, chest or even abdomen.
Chronic Venous Disease
Many patients do not realise they have a complication of venous disease until they see a phlebologist. It is important to understand that varicose veins can be a progressive condition and that new diseased veins can develop with time.

Top 5 Myths About Varicose Veins
Myth #2 - Crossing Your Legs Will Give You Varicose Veins
There is no evidence to support this. The best way to avoid varicose veins, or to slow the progression of pre-existing varicose veins, is to get enough rest, eat a healthy diet to keep your weight down, and regular exercise. If you already have varicose veins, support stockings are a great help. Herbal supplements have been known to improve pain and swelling but have never been proven to heal bad veins or prevent healthy ones from deteriorating.
