Varicose Veins
What Are Vein Treatments?
Vein treatments are a series of procedures or methods used to lessen the symptoms of venous insufficiency and other vein conditions. Venous insufficiency is a chronic condition in which the veins struggle to send blood back to the heart, causing blood to pool in the legs. Varicose veins are a common type of venous insufficiency. When high blood pressure or another factor weakens blood vessel walls, the veins become enlarged and twisted. Varicose veins can lead to cosmetic changes and physical discomfort in the legs.
Modern vein treatments include a range of procedures designed to reverse, minimize and eliminate the adverse effects of venous insufficiency. The goal of vein care procedures is to close the varicose vein and redirect the blood to a deeper, healthier vein in the leg.
