Cosmetic leg veins can be classified into two main categories: spider veins and varicose veins. The two conditions often occur in parallel, but they can be distinguished according to their appearance: a varicose vein is an abnormally dilated, tortuous, twisted subcutaneous vein (1), while spider veins occur in the dermis and their diameter varies between 0.1 and 1.0 mm (2).
