Small broken blue blood vessels on the face or legs can be referred to as spider veins. These are slightly different to the red broken blood vessels that can be seen also on the face and legs, (telangiectasia veins). The treatment for these is normally ip/laser or diathermy. All of these treatments are available at the skin nurse clinic.
Spider veins are not varicose veins which are swollen and enlarged veins. They appear as small clusters of blue veins on the skin’s surface. These mostly strike on the face, body & legs & are very common, especially in ladies.
