💡 Vein Health Isn’t Just About Pain
Visible veins but no discomfort? That doesn’t always mean everything’s fine.

Vein disease can start silently — with subtle signs that are easy to ignore:
🌀 Tired, heavy legs after standing
🧦 Sock marks that don’t fade quickly
🌙 Restless legs at night
💥 Mild swelling that comes and goes

These may seem small, but left untreated, they can progress — even without pain.

✨ The earlier you seek care, the easier it is to manage and treat your symptoms long-term.

Dr. Bolton offers thorough, physician-led vein assessments right here in Grande Prairie — because healthy legs are about more than just how they look. 💙

🩺 Tip Tuesday
"Tired, achy legs by the end of the day? Don’t ignore it."

That heavy, throbbing feeling in your legs after a long day isn't just part of getting older — it could be a sign of underlying vein issues like chronic venous insufficiency or varicose veins.

🌀 Common signs to watch for:

Tired or achy legs (especially in the evening)
Swelling in the ankles
Visible veins or skin changes
Cramping or restlessness at night
✨ The good news? It’s treatable — and early intervention makes a difference.

👩‍⚕️ Book a consultation with Dr. Bolton and let’s get to the root of it. Your legs deserve relief.

🌿 Myth-Busting Monday
"Varicose veins only happen to older adults."

🚫 Not true! While aging can increase your risk, varicose and spider veins often show up earlier than you’d expect — even in your 20s or 30s.

Here’s what can bring them on:
👣 Standing or sitting for long periods
🤰 Pregnancy or hormone changes
🧬 Family history
🏋️‍♀️ Strain or lifestyle factors

Vein health doesn’t have an age limit — and the earlier you take action, the better your long-term results. 💙

If you’ve noticed bulging veins, swelling, or heaviness in your legs, don’t wait. We’re here to help at any stage of your journey.

🧦 Not all compression stockings are created equal — let’s find your perfect fit.

From mild to medical-grade, compression stockings come in different levels — and choosing the right one matters for your comfort and your health.

Here’s a quick guide:
🔹 15–20 mmHg: Great for travel, pregnancy, or mild swelling
🔹 20–30 mmHg: Ideal for varicose veins, moderate swelling, or post-treatment support
🔹 30–40 mmHg: Used for more advanced vein issues or under medical supervision

✨ The right level can reduce discomfort, improve circulation, and support your treatment plan — but it's not one-size-fits-all.

👩‍⚕️ Need help deciding? Dr. Bolton and our team can assess your needs and fit you right here in the clinic.

🧦 Yes, you can wear compression stockings in the summer! ☀️
We know — warm weather and snug stockings don’t sound like the perfect pair. But with the right tips, you can stay cool and supported all season long:

🌿 Go lightweight: Choose sheer or summer-specific compression styles for breathability.
🧊 Wear them early: Put them on first thing in the morning when swelling is lowest.
👗 Style smart: Pair with breezy dresses or loose pants to stay comfortable and chic.
🚿 Cool down: Rinse your legs with cool water before putting them on to beat the heat.

Not sure what compression level is right for you?
Come by the clinic — we carry medical-grade stockings and can help you get the perfect fit.

📣 Short on time but not on results? Let’s talk about sclerotherapy.

If spider veins are making you self-conscious, sclerotherapy might be your perfect solution — quick, effective, and with minimal downtime.

✨ What is it?
A non-surgical treatment where a special solution is injected directly into the spider veins, causing them to collapse and fade over time.

⏱ How long does it take?
Most appointments take 20–30 minutes — many patients even come on their lunch break!

😌 Does it hurt?
You may feel a tiny pinch, but it’s very well-tolerated — no anesthesia, no stitches, and you can walk out right after.

👣 When will I see results?
Some fading can be seen in weeks, with full results over a few months — depending on the vein.

We offer personalized treatment plans so you can feel confident in your skin again.

📚 What are varicose veins, really? Let’s break it down.

Swollen, twisted, and often blue or purple — varicose veins are more than just a cosmetic concern. They form when vein walls weaken and valves don’t work properly, causing blood to pool and pressure to build.

🌀 Varicose veins are usually raised, bulging, and can cause aching, heaviness, or swelling.
🌸 Spider veins are smaller, closer to the skin, and often appear like a web or branches — typically painless but still treatable.

👉 If you notice discomfort, visible changes, or symptoms getting worse — it’s time to get them checked. Early treatment = better results.

📍We’re here to help, with expert, physician-led care right here in Alberta.
