Varicose Veins

Varicose veins are large, dilated veins just beneath the skin. Many avoid addressing them because they think they are just a cosmetic issue, but the truth is that they are often a result of a deeper health condition: superficial venous reflux disease. Your veins have one-way valves that close to prevent the blood from pooling at the ankles. When the valves are damaged or become stretched out, the blood pools and causes the veins to enlarge. This is what causes those puffy veins most often seen on the legs, calves, and ankles.  

Fortunately, treatments for varicose veins have progressed and now provide a quick recovery from a minimally invasive procedure.

Spider Veins

Spider veins are small, usually red veins that resemble spider webs or tree branches. They are visible just beneath the surface of the skin and are smaller than varicose veins. They are typically painless and do not cause health problems.  

Fortunately, treatments for spider veins have progressed and now provide a quick recovery from a minimally invasive procedure.

Treatment Options

Compression stockings can help improve blood flow and prevent swelling, further spider veins, and blood clots.
Sclerotherapy causes the affected veins to become irritated and become stuck together, closing off blood flow. This procedure will cause the spider veins to shrink and then disappear eventually.
Laser therapy can be used on veins that are just beneath the surface of the skin and smaller than 3 millimeters. The concentrated light beams will cause the vein to clot and then dry up. This is the most minimally invasive option.
Endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) is the application of heat directly to the vein via laser which causes the vein to collapse and disappear over several months. Local anesthesia is typically applied to the affected area.

Risk Factors

Pregnancy
Being female
Being older
Being overweight
Sitting or standing for extended periods of time
Sun damage
A family history of spider veins

Venous Disease

Also known as venous insufficiency, venous disease is usually associated with varicose veins and leg heaviness. In simplest terms, it is a lack of blood flow towards the heart from the legs. There are two main types of vessels in the body; you can think of them as plumbing. Arteries take blood from the heart to different parts of the body and veins take blood back to the heart. Within your veins are important valves that open and close, directing the blood toward your heart. Venous disease occurs when the valves become stretched or flabby, allowing blood to flow down and pool in the legs.  

Venous disease is not curable, but can be treated. Fortunately, modern techniques are minimally invasive and no longer require patients to have a hospital overnight stay.
