there is no one reason that you get spider veins. the trait is passed down through your genes and is usually more common in people with light skin or who are overweight. BUT when you cross your legs you are putting more pressure on your capillaries which can be a contributing factor as to why you get spider veins. so just to be on the safe side, switch off which leg is crossed on top and give 'em a break for a few minutes each hour. =D

Worried about Spider Veins?
Spider veins are small, superficial, damaged veins that are usually on the surface on the legs, but can be fund anywhere on the body. The discolored veins can resemble a spider web or permanent bruise. Spider webs veins commonly occur simultaneously with other vein diseases but can also be independent. Typically not painful, spider veins are considered unattractive and if left untreated can spread all over the legs. Treatments Treatment options include sclerotherapy and/or laser, depending on their location and size. If venous reflux is found within the superficial venous system in the same region of the spider veins, treatment of the reflux can help in preventing the spider veins from coming back after they are treated. Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution directly into the vein, causing the vein to scar. The collapsed vein is reabsorbed into local tissue and eventually fades.
