Are varicose veins related to spider veins?
The key to success when treating varicose or spider veins is the elimination of the primary source of reflux. In some instances a mild cosmetic problem (spider veins) may just be the “tip of the iceberg”. Larger non visible refluxing veins may lead to and be causing spider veins. If this underlying problem is not dealt with, treated spider veins may not respond, will recur, or may even look worse because the underlying problem was never eliminated.
