Dermatology/Spider veins

Question
Hello. I am a 22 year old female with spider veins on my legs. My mother, older sisters, and grandmother also have them on their legs. However, none of the women in my family have spider veins on their faces. Does this mean that I won't have to look out for them on my face either, or is it that all persons with spider veins on their legs also get them on their faces? Thanks.
