By seeking treatment for your vein conditions now, you will be ready to greet summer with beautiful, vein-free legs and a renewed self-confidence for the season.
Understanding Spider and Varicose Veins: Varicose and Spider Veins are NOT just a cosmetic problem!
Spider veins can occur anywhere on the legs. The superficial veins cause cosmetic embarrassment because of the visible network on the skin that resembles a starburst or a spider’s web. Spider veins may be sensitive to touch and cause leg heaviness, burning and fatigue, particularly at the end of the day. Those side effects can keep you from enjoying some of your favorite summer activities.
Varicose veins resemble twisting ropes that often protrude above the surface of the leg. They are frequently caused by an underlying condition known as venous insufficiency. Venous insufficiency occurs when veins in the lower legs stop working properly, allowing blood to pool inside and the vessels to swell and become varicose. These veins are more likely to be accompanied by symptoms like pain, swelling and even skin changes. People with varicose veins often dread the summer season due to both self-consciousness over their appearance and uncomfortable symptoms that interfere with vacation plans and summer recreation.
Vein Treatment Options:
At Vein Specialists of the Carolinas, we offer the safest, most effective treatments for spider and varicose veins today. Some individuals may hesitate about scheduling vein treatment because they are concerned about the cost of the procedure. The good news is that many insurance plans cover vein treatments if they are used to eliminate symptomatic veins. However, most insurance companies require members to try compression therapy for a period of time before undergoing a procedure.
Vein treatments are performed in our office on an outpatient basis and patients usually return to their daily activities as soon as treatment is over. However, it can take some time to see the full results of vein treatment, since the vein is reabsorbed by the body over time.
Vein treatment is faster and easier today than ever before, allowing you to forgo the cosmetic embarrassment and physical pain of varicose veins and enjoy the summer season to the fullest. To learn more, contact Vein Specialists of the Carolinas at 704-861-2072 or 704-544-5245.
