Treatment of Varicose Veins & Spider Veins

Appearance isn’t the only reason to want to seek treatment for varicose veins and spider veins. They can also be painful, especially while standing. The health of your veins directly affects your overall health. That’s why it is essential for you to choose a qualified medical doctor when opting for treatment, whether it’s for medical or aesthetic reasons. Choosing a doctor who is experienced and well-versed in the most current and safest treatments should be a top priority.

While arteries transport blood away from your heart, it’s your veins’ responsibility to carry it back, virtually going “against gravity.” Are your veins up for the challenge? If you spend hours on your feet or your veins are overstressed because of pregnancy or excess weight, it might be time to seek treatment.

Varicose Veins

The pain associated with varicose veins can be difficult to handle. While wearing compression stockings may ease the pain somewhat, the only real solution is removing the vein.

Because varicose veins often enlarge and worsen as time goes on, many health complications can occur. Those suffering from varicose veins may experience ulcers on the skin tissue, painful rashes, and serious venous insufficiency. This is the reason why people seek necessary treatment, and why, as mentioned before, it is important to choose a qualified doctor.

But why do varicose veins develop in the first place?

Pressure builds up as blood flows against gravity. If your job requires quite a bit of standing, you are at risk for developing varicose veins. However, not everyone is susceptible because our bodies are designed with a one-way pumping system. Our veins contain valves and our muscles serve as the pump. As the muscle pumps, the valve shuts, thus preventing blood from re-entering.

Problems arise when one or more of the one-way valves fail to operate properly, causing the vein to dilate, which prevents the valve from closing completely. Varicose veins are the result and medical treatment is the only option for total relief.

Spider Veins

While varicose veins can be detrimental to your health, spider veins are simply unsightly. Usually blue or red in color, spider veins are closer to the skin surface and are smaller than varicose veins and can be treated in various non-invasive ways.

Dr. Wilkenfeld is continually looking for innovative techniques and procedures to address the variety of conditions he treats. He has been treating spider and varicose veins for over 26 years.Schedule an appointment with him to discuss the many options available for treatment of both varicose and spider veins.
