Veins and puberty: Spider (thread) veins get their name because they look like threads or spider legs. There are many reasons for their formation including genetics, hormones, sun exposure and injuries. Certainly, since there are many hormonal changes during puberty, the chances of spider veins forming exists. Usually spider veins forming at an early age are due more to genetics than hormones.
