Varicose Veins Q & A

What are varicose veins?

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that often appear on your legs - often presenting as blue, red, or purple veins that protrude outward. Spider veins are smaller versions of varicose veins that can appear on your legs or face or other parts of your body - they may appear as a spider-web-like design. The Advanced Cardiovascular Consultants team offers a variety of treatments to remove varicose and spider veins. If you notice the early signs of these vein conditions, please schedule a consultation with one of our specialists for a personalized evaluation.

How does my provider diagnose varicose veins?

To diagnose varicose veins and develop a treatment plan, your cardiologist will:

Review your medical history
Ask about symptoms you may have
Comprehensive physical examination
Ultrasound imaging, if necessary, to assess vein function and detect potential blood clots.

What are my varicose vein treatment options?

Depending on the severity, Advanced Cardiovascular Consultants may recommend one or a combination of the following treatment options:

At-home treatments

For less severe cases, your doctor may recommend you to have lifestyle changes such as weight loss, elevating your legs, regular exercise, wearing compression stockings, and not standing or sitting for long periods.

This can reduce pain associated with varicose veins and your risk of recurrence.

Varithena

A minimally invasive procedure, to eliminate varicose veins, by injecting a foam that causes the veins to close. The procedure requires no incisions or stitches, and usually takes less thanan hour for the treatment to be completed.

Benefits of Varithena

Radiofrequency treatment

Radiofrequency treatment uses heat to close diseased veins, redirect blood flow to healthy veins and eliminate varicose veins.
