Facial thread veins, are smaller and thinner than varicose veins, but are visibly large enough to be seen usually appearing on the face and legs. While they are not dangerous to our health, they can be difficult to conceal with makeup, and can appear as red to bluish vessels that web underneath the skin surface. They are usually caused by sun exposure, as the sun damage skin cells that make collagen resulting in thinner skin and more apparent blood vessels. They can also appear because of other factors like inflammation, hormones, trauma, and medication. In treating this condition, we often use laser thread vein treatment.
