Description
Visible veins appear as bluish, greenish, or purplish lines under the skin, most commonly on the arms, hands, legs, or abdomen. They may be raised or flat, and their prominence can vary depending on body composition, temperature, and physical activity. For some, it’s a fleeting post-workout appearance. For others, it’s a permanent feature shaped by genetics and lifestyle.
