Varicose vein treatments
Varicose veins—similar to spider veins—are swollen, often discolored veins in the legs or other areas of the body. They are caused by dysfunctional valves in the veins, which, over time, allow blood to build up in the veins. These are very common in women, but also appear in men. Although they are typically harmless, they can be a nuisance or sources of discomfort. In these cases, we offer two experts treatments for varicose and spider veins.
