Procedures Available to Treat Varicose Veins
Dr. Stephen Keith, Dr. Roger Rosen and Dr. Harmandeep Singh offer the most advanced diagnosis and treatment options available for patients with varicose veins. No longer do patients have to endure painful operations, unsightly scars and long recovery times. There are now a number of minimally-invasive procedures available that result in less pain and faster recovery times.
Varicose veins appear as swollen, twisted lines that are raised above the surface of the skin. The veins bulge when blood fails to circulate properly. In some cases, the valves in the veins have weakened and have lost the ability to push blood back up to the heart. In other cases, it is the walls of the blood vessels that have weakened causing the volume of blood in the leg veins to increase. Varicose veins can appear in men and women and are most common on the legs and thighs. Spider veins are a mild variation of varicose veins which usually do not cause symptoms.
