Varicose Veins

Vаrісоѕе vеіnѕ, аlѕо knоwn as “vаrісоѕіtіеѕ,” are еnlаrgеd and unhealthy veins usually arising due to high pressure in veins slightly deeper within the leg. They may be tortuous or twisted and may bulge from under the skin. You’ll find that they can be red or purple in color.

Varicose veins occur when the vein valves that help your blood flow back to the heart become weak or damaged, causing blood to pool in the veins. This can lead to discomfort, swelling, and aching in the affected area.

Diagnosis

We offer informative consultations to better understand the cause and prognosis of your symptoms. If conservative measures fail and symptoms persist, we can evaluate which varicose vein treatment options are best suited to helping you look and feel better.

Treatment

The first step in treating most varicose veins is treating the underlying cause. Our board-certified vein doctors perform minimally invasive procedures in the office that are consistent with the highest standards of care.

Depending upon your case, your vein doctor may recommend any of the following procedures:

  • Sclerotherapy
  • VenaSeal
  • RFA
  • ClariVein
  • Microphlebectomy
