Varicose veins affect an estimated 40% of women and 25% of men. 

Varicose veins occur when faulty valves allow blood to flow backward 
and collect in leg veins, causing them to enlarge. In addition to the visual appearance of purplish, knotted veins, many patients experience one or more of the following leg symptoms: pain (an aching or cramping); heaviness/tiredness; burning & tingling sensations; swelling & throbbing; tender areas around the vein.

The fact is if you delay treatment, your symptoms may progress to more serious complications including: inflammation (phlebitis); ankle sores or skin ulcers; bleeding; or blood clots (e.g. DVT).

Fortunately, new minimally invasive techniques now allow effective treatment of varicose veins with no hospital stay, no scarring, minimal post operative pain, and nearly immediate relief from your symptoms.

The advantages are the procedure is performed in the office under a local anesthetic in less than an hour. There is a lower risk of complications and you can return to normal activities usually within 1-2 days. It is reimbursable by most health insurance plans.
