Answer: Treatment for leg veins Thank you for your question! In my practice, I offer sclerotherapy, endovenous laser ablation, Clarivein treatment, and microphlebectomy to treat varicose and spider veins. I would definitely recommend scheduling an in-person exam to determine the appropriate treatment option but, in all likelihood, you would benefit from a sclerotherapy. It uses a sclerosing solution that causes the vein to shrink. Usually sclerotherapy takes only 1 to 2 sessions to achieve fading of the undesirable veins.

Answer: Lower extremity evaluation My first recommendation would be to visit a vein specialist to take a look at your veins and assess them by doing a full evaluation including ultrasound imaging of your venous circulatory system of the legs. Contrary to healthy venous circulation, venous reflux disease develops when the valves that keep blood flowing out of the legs and back to the heart no longer function, causing to pool in the legs and leading to signs and symptoms such as varicose veins, leg or ankle swelling, leg heaviness and fatigue, leg pain, aching or cramping, burning or itching of the skin, restless legs, skin changes or rashes, ulcers, open wounds, or sores. Many factors contribute to the presence of venous reflux including age, gender, family history, heavy lifting, multiple pregnancies, obesity, and prolonged standing. Your physician can help you decide the best treatment or combination of treatments for you according to your ultrasound results and your specific goals.
