Causes of Thread Veins and How Can They Be Treated

Thread veins are very tiny veins that can be seen under the skin. As we grow older certain changes occur in our skin and it tends to become more fragile and thinner. The subcutaneous tissues also get thinner and therefore the blood vessels under our skin become much more visible.


Occurrence of veins are not any kind of medical problem and you need not be concerned, if you ever observe it in your skin. Such veins can be seen in legs and in few other areas of the body too. You can consult a specialist in thread veins in Northern Ireland to get the treatment.


There are a number of reasons for the development of such thread veins. Sometimes, it can also be due to heredity. Many women may get them during pregnancy because of higher levels of oestrogen. Most common reasons for such thread veins is the growing age. Sometimes, due to overweight or smoking habit too such thread-veins may be developed.
