Varicose vein symptoms we treat.

Varicose veins are more than a cosmetic issue. These are the symptoms we hear about most.

  • Bulging, Twisted Veins

    Ropey, blue or purple veins that bulge above the skin, most often on the legs.

  • Aching and Heaviness

    A tired, heavy ache that builds after long periods of standing or sitting.

  • Throbbing and Cramping

    Throbbing, cramping, or restless legs that often ease when you elevate them.

  • Ankle and Foot Swelling

    Swelling around the ankles and feet, often worst toward the end of the day.

  • Itching and Burning

    Itching or burning skin around the affected veins.

  • Skin Changes

    Skin discoloration or slow-healing sores near the ankle in more advanced cases.

Why varicose veins shouldn't be ignored.

Some people see varicose veins as only a cosmetic concern. But unlike spider veins, varicose veins can cause real symptoms and signal underlying vein disease, so they are worth having checked.

  • Symptoms that worsen. Aching, swelling, and heaviness tend to grow over time rather than fade.
  • Skin and circulation changes. Untreated vein disease can bring skin discoloration and, in some cases, slow-healing sores.
  • A sign of vein disease. Bulging veins can point to chronic venous insufficiency, which is worth evaluating.

Varicose vein questions, answered.

Still unsure? Call us and a person will answer.

What Is the Best Treatment for Varicose Veins?
It depends on the vein. Sclerotherapy works well for smaller varicose veins, while endovenous laser ablation (EVLT) treats larger, faulty veins above the knee. A consultation and ultrasound help match the treatment to your veins.
Are Varicose Veins a Medical or Cosmetic Problem?
They can be both. Varicose veins are sometimes only cosmetic, but they often cause aching, heaviness, and swelling and can signal underlying vein disease. Spider veins, by contrast, are usually cosmetic.
Does Insurance Cover Varicose Vein Treatment?
Coverage varies by plan. When varicose veins cause medical symptoms such as pain, swelling, or skin changes, many plans cover treatment. We verify first on our insurance verification page.
Is Varicose Vein Treatment Painful or Does It Need Surgery?
No surgery is required. Sclerotherapy and EVLT are minimally invasive and done in-office, and most patients return to normal activity quickly with little to no downtime. Comfort varies from person to person.
How Long Does Varicose Vein Treatment Take to Work?
Results vary. Treated veins gradually shrink and fade over weeks to months as your body reabsorbs them. Some patients need more than one session for the best result.
When Should I See a Doctor for Varicose Veins?
Consider an evaluation if your veins ache, swell, throb, or the skin around them changes. Earlier care often means simpler treatment and can catch underlying vein disease sooner.
