Varicose Veins

Varicose veins are bulging, swollen veins that exist near the surface of the skin. They generally appear on the legs and feet and can have a twisting and turning appearance. These veins are typically blue, red, or purple.

Causes of Varicose Veins

Most of us have a genetic predisposition to developing vein disease, which means we have a family history of varicose veins or other vein diseases. Other causes of varicose veins include:

Varicose Vein Symptoms

Symptoms of varicose veins can range from extreme fatigue or heaviness in the legs to aches and pains. Varicose veins can also cause restlessness, discoloration of the skin, or difficulty getting comfortable. Eating healthy, avoiding sitting and standing for long periods, and staying away from tobacco are some of the best ways to avoid or lessen your symptoms.

Treatments

We take the time to understand your symptoms so that we can form a personalized treatment plan. From there, we will perform Ultrasound Vein Mapping to pinpoint the specific issue. In most cases, we will perform either EVLA or Sclerotherapy. These procedures are minimally invasive and require little-to-no recovery time.
