Misconceptions in vein care:
1️⃣ “It’s just cosmetic.”
Varicose and spider veins are often a medical condition, not just an aesthetic concern.

2️⃣ “I’ll wait until it gets worse.”
Earlier treatment usually means easier care and better outcomes.

3️⃣ “Treatment is painful or requires surgery.”
Modern vein treatments are minimally invasive and done comfortably in-office.

4️⃣ “If my legs don’t hurt, it’s not a problem.”
Vein disease doesn’t always start with pain—other symptoms matter.

5️⃣ “Compression socks are the only option.”
They help symptoms, but they don’t treat the underlying vein issue.

Symptoms like leg heaviness, swelling, aching, cramping, visible veins, or fatigue in the legs aren’t just cosmetic — they can be signs of underlying venous reflux disease.

Venous reflux is a medical condition where blood doesn’t flow properly back to the heart. The good news?
It’s detectable with a duplex ultrasound, a non-invasive imaging test that allows us to see vein function in real time.

If venous reflux is present, modern vein treatment is:
• Individualized to your anatomy
• Minimally invasive
• Non-surgical
• Performed in-office
• Designed for little to no downtime

In 2026, vein care is precise, data-driven, and tailored — treating the root cause, not just the visible veins.

If you’ve been living with these symptoms, your legs may be telling you more than you realize.

Step 1: Find a Vein or Vascular Specialist
Choose a physician who is experienced in venous and vascular disease.

Step 2: Comprehensive Consultation
Your visit begins with a detailed medical history and physical examination performed by the physician to understand your symptoms, lifestyle, and overall vein health.

Step 3: Diagnostic Ultrasound
A venous ultrasound is a critical part of the evaluation. It allows the physician to see how blood is flowing in your veins and identify the underlying cause of varicose veins.

Step 4: Individualized Treatment Plan
Based on your exam and ultrasound results, your physician will create a personalized plan. This may include:
• Conservative management, such as compression stockings, leg elevation, exercise, and lifestyle adjustments to improve comfort without procedures
• Targeted treatments, if needed, which are customized to your specific vein condition and symptoms.

Most venous disease isn’t visible to the naked eye. So when you see spider veins on the surface, it’s often just the tip of the iceberg.

In many cases, there’s an underlying vein issue beneath the skin. This is why ultrasound imaging is essential—it allows us to identify the root cause of the problem, not just what’s visible.

Effective vein treatment is focused on addressing that root cause, which is key to achieving lasting results, not just temporary improvement.
Key to achieving lasting results;
1) get an ultrasound
2) treat the underlying condition
3) treat the visible surface veins
