Spider veins or Thread veins of the legs are usually casued by underlying hidden varicose veins or "venous reflux" - medically called venous incompetence. Dr Previn Diwakar of The Whiteley Clinic explains how we use Duplex Ultrasound to find these hidden veins and then formulate a bespoke treatment plan for each patient.
