Why Treat Veins?
Why should you get a Vein Treatment?
Varicose veins are a frequent cause of leg symptoms. Spider veins alone will rarely cause severe symptoms other than localized itching and burning, but sometimes spider veins of the legs can be associated with underlying varicose veins that are not visible at the surface. Varicose vein symptoms can be resolved or relieved with treatments such as Endovenous Laser Treatment (ELT) and Sclerotherapy. Leg symptoms and signs commonly associated with visible or non-visible varicose veins include:
Pain, throbbing or cramping- Tiredness and fatigue
- Itching and burning
- Swelling of the ankles and legs
- Heaviness
- Restlessness (Restless Legs Syndrome)
- Swelling or edema of the ankles and legs
Complications from Vein Diseases
Varicose vein treatment can speed the recovery of skin complications related to varicose veins and venous insufficiency. The complications of varicose vein disease include:
- Superficial Phlebitis or Thrombophlebitis
- Thrombosis (blood clots)
- Leg Ulcers
- Venous Dermatitis
- Spontaneous Phleborrhagia (bleeding from a vein with minimal or no trauma)
