Spider veins on the face

Are the spider veins that occur on the face the same as spider veins on the legs?
 

Yes, they are the same. Millions of women and men are troubled by unattractive spider veins on their faces and legs. Spider veins are called as such because they resemble a “star” with numerous small veins radiating from a center point. They may also appear as fine, separate lines, a web-like maze, or as “branches” from a single “tree trunk.” It is estimated that more than 75% of females over the age of 18 have spider veins. These red, blue or purple thread-like lines may develop on any part of the body, including the face, but most often appear on the thighs, calves, or buttocks. The condition is associated with increased pressure to the veins. Except for poor cosmesis, these veins are harmless. if you have any symptoms, then it is most likely from something else and not the spider vein.
