Understanding Varicose Veins

What Are Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that typically appear on the legs and feet. They occur when the valves within the veins become weakened or damaged, causing blood to pool and veins to become swollen and discolored. Although varicose veins are often associated with aging or standing for long periods, they can also be caused by genetics, pregnancy, or hormonal changes.

While many varicose veins are harmless, they can cause symptoms like:

If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek treatment to alleviate discomfort and prevent the condition from worsening.

The Risks of Untreated Varicose Veins

While varicose veins may seem like a cosmetic issue, they can lead to more serious health problems if left untreated. Some potential complications include:

At West Derm Center, we take varicose veins seriously and offer effective treatment options to help you avoid these complications.

How West Derm Center Can Help You Treat Varicose Veins

At West Derm Center, we use state-of-the-art treatments designed to target the underlying causes of varicose veins. Our approach focuses on both improving circulation and minimizing the appearance of veins to ensure you can enjoy smoother, healthier legs.

1. Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is one of the most common and effective treatments for varicose veins. This procedure involves injecting a special solution into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and eventually fade from view. It’s a minimally invasive procedure with little downtime and is highly effective for treating both varicose veins and smaller spider veins.

2. Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT)

EVLT uses laser energy to treat varicose veins from the inside out. A laser fiber is inserted into the vein, which heats the vein walls and causes them to collapse. The body then naturally absorbs the vein, improving blood flow and the overall appearance of your legs. This treatment is ideal for larger varicose veins and requires only local anesthesia.

3. Venous Ultrasound

Before starting any treatment, we perform a venous ultrasound to assess the health of your veins and determine the best course of action. This diagnostic tool allows us to visualize the veins and evaluate blood flow, ensuring that we address any underlying issues that may contribute to your varicose veins.

4. Lifestyle and Compression Therapy

In addition to medical treatments, we recommend lifestyle changes and compression therapy to manage varicose veins. Compression stockings can help improve circulation and reduce swelling, while regular exercise and elevating the legs can minimize symptoms and improve vein health.
