How do I know if I have varicose veins or thread veins?

Varicose veins and thread veins – which are sometimes also known as spider veins – are both types of vein conditions, but they have distinct appearances and symptoms.

Varicose veins are larger, swollen, and twisted veins that often bulge above the skin’s surface. They can cause discomfort, pain, itching, or a heavy feeling in the legs and are typically found on the legs or feet.

Thread veins, on the other hand, are smaller, thin, and web-like veins that appear in the skin itself. They are usually red, blue, or purple and are painless. Thread veins can occur on the legs, face, or other areas of the body.

We offer a range of treatment options for varicose veins, including VenaSeal™ – the most up-to-date method of treating varicose veins that cause less pain and allows you to get back to normal almost immediately, without the hassle of wearing bandages or compression stockings.
