Reticular Veins: Understanding Blue and Green Veins Under the Skin

Reticular veins are small, bluish or greenish veins that commonly appear beneath the skin, particularly on the legs. They are usually larger than spider veins but smaller than typical varicose veins. While they may be primarily a cosmetic concern, they can sometimes occur alongside other vein problems. At USA Vein Clinics, vein specialists can evaluate visible veins and related symptoms to determine the underlying cause. Depending on your condition, treatment options may include sclerotherapy or other minimally invasive vein treatments designed around your individual needs.
