Before you read anything about “spider veins,” don’t worry—the name has nothing to do with real spiders.

Spider veins, or telangiectasias, are small blood vessels visible just beneath the skin. They usually appear on the legs but can develop anywhere on the body in a web-like pattern.

They are more than a cosmetic issue: more than 40 million people in the United States have them. Almost half of all women may develop spider or varicose veins, and genetics appear to play a role. Below, we outline the causes, possible complications, and approaches that may help.

Symptoms and causes

Spider veins can stem from varicose veins—enlarged, swollen veins near the skin. Disrupted blood flow and increased pressure can enlarge these vessels, and the resulting pooling of blood may encourage finer spider veins to form.

Varicose veins can cause aching, muscle cramps, irritated skin, and swelling in the lower legs, so the condition is not purely cosmetic.

Standard care includes compression stockings to ease swelling. Blue-light therapy is also being explored as a supportive option.

Blue-light therapy for vein issues

Blue-light therapy delivers low-wavelength, non-UV light together with gentle heat to the skin. Short daily sessions have been reported to improve skin texture, sun damage, acne, and mild vein problems.

The proposed mechanism is improved local circulation, which may help normalize blood flow in superficial vessels. Evidence is still emerging, and results vary.

Over time, the light may ease swelling and pooled blood, gradually lessening the visible veins under the skin. Blue light therapy is non-invasive and drug-free, so it can be used as desired. Whatever stage of vein issue you are experiencing, blue light therapy might help you feel more comfortable.
