Spider Vein Removal: Veins have valves that act as one-way flaps. These valves prevent the blood from flowing backwards as it moves up the legs. If this one-way valve becomes weak, blood will leak and collect. The pooled blood causes varicose vines where blood finally pools and branches to produce spider veins. Pregnancy, hormone changes, inherited factors and exposure to the sun are causes for spider veins.
