MAINLY TWO SYSTEMS OF VEINS IN LEGS

1. Deep veins which carry the most of blood back from legs to heart.

2. Superficial veins which are present under skin.
Only Superficial veins are converted into varicose veins.
So these veins have one way valve that controls blood flows towards heart. But due to the failure of these valves blood flows backwards (see the picture above) into veins which exert the excessive pressure. Due to that veins can’t close properly. This excess pressure in the veins, results in the development of the spider veins or varicose veins
