While the procedure itself was a pain in the leg, the staff was amazing. I really enjoyed talking to Rachel while she did my ultrasounds.

Questions & Answers

When should I be concerned about my varicose or spider veins?

Vein Clinics of America | Jul 29, 2022
Vein Clinics of America | Jul 29, 2022

Vein disease can cause mild to moderate pain as well as other symptoms. If left untreated, it can cause more serious conditions such as blood clots and venous ulcers (open sores on the skin).

Is there anything I can do to help prevent vein disease before it starts?

Vein Clinics of America | Jul 29, 2022
Vein Clinics of America | Jul 29, 2022

There’s no way to completely prevent vein disease. However, improving your blood circulation and muscle tone may reduce your risk of developing varicose veins. Some common ways to help reduce risk include exercising, elevating your legs, eating a healthy diet and wearing compression stockings.

How does Endovenous Laser or Radiofrequency Treatment actually work?

Vein Clinics of America | Jul 29, 2022
Vein Clinics of America | Jul 29, 2022

Our expert physicians will insert a small fiber into the unhealthy vein using ultrasound guidance. Consistent and uniform heat is delivered to contract collagen in the vein walls, causing them to collapse and close, thus redirecting the blood to healthy veins. The entire procedure takes less than an hour, and the recovery is rapid.
