That means:
• Ongoing education and national conferences
• Leadership roles in professional societies

🦵 Leg swelling isn’t just part of getting older.

It can be a sign of vein problems, medication side effects, or even blood flow issues that shouldn’t be ignored.

If your legs swell during the day, feel heavy or tight, or only improve when you elevate them at night, your veins may be trying to tell you something.

Learn what causes leg swelling, when it’s a concern, and how it’s treated:

🩺 A vascular ultrasound is more than a test — it’s a powerful tool for prevention.

This non-invasive diagnostic exam allows vascular specialists to evaluate blood flow, identify hidden circulation issues, and catch problems before they become serious or life-threatening.

Vascular ultrasound screening can help detect:
• Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
• Venous insufficiency
• Blood clots (DVT)
• Aneurysms and circulation abnormalities

Early detection leads to earlier treatment, better outcomes, and peace of mind—often without the need for invasive procedures.

🦵 Leg Swelling Isn’t “Just Age” — Here’s What Could Be Causing It

In this week’s Whiteboard Wednesday, Dr. Jason Wagner from Sarasota Vascular Specialists explains why leg swelling happens—and why it should never be ignored.

Leg swelling can come from many causes, including:
• Heart or fluid-related conditions that affect both legs
• Medication side effects (like certain blood pressure meds)
• Blood clots (DVT) or vein compression when swelling is in one leg
• Venous insufficiency, when vein valves don’t keep blood moving upward

If your legs swell during the day and improve only after elevation, that’s often a sign of a vein-related problem—and the good news is many treatments are minimally invasive.

🚫 Myth Busted: Varicose Veins Are “Just Cosmetic”

Dr. Michael Lepore from Sarasota Vascular Specialists sets the record straight.

Varicose veins are not just a cosmetic issue. Many develop due to lifestyle factors, work habits, and underlying anatomy. Over time, they can become enlarged, painful, and lead to symptoms like:

Aching or burning leg pain

Heavy, tired legs

Discomfort that worsens after a long day

Nighttime pain that disrupts sleep

For many patients, these symptoms can significantly affect daily life and overall quality of living.

👉 If you’re experiencing symptomatic varicose veins, it’s important to be evaluated by a board-certified vascular surgeon. Modern treatment options go far beyond traditional open surgery—and relief may be closer than you think.

📞 Call (941) 294-5146 to schedule a consultation and take the first step toward healthier legs.

At Sarasota Vascular Specialists, we don’t just treat what you see on the surface. We focus on the root cause to restore long-term vein health and comfort.

If you’re experiencing leg heaviness, swelling, pain, or visible veins, it may be time for an evaluation.

✨ “Wow… that was nothing!”

That’s the most common thing patients say after their vein ablation procedure — and they’re right. Modern vein treatments are fast, comfortable, and designed to fit right into your day.

Here’s what actually happens during a vein ablation:

🔹 You walk in and walk out in 30–45 minutes
🔹 We access the problem vein with a tiny entry point
🔹 A small catheter is guided into the vein
🔹 We shut down the unhealthy vein using either:
• Heat-based energy (to seal it from the inside), or
• A specialized medication that makes the vein gently close

Why close a vein?
Because bad veins don’t move blood correctly. Removing them from circulation allows healthy veins to take over, improving symptoms like heaviness, swelling, and aching.

Many patients literally get this done on their lunch break — and go right back to work.

At Sarasota Vascular Specialists, our goal is simple:
Improve your function, reduce your symptoms, and help you get back to the lifestyle you love.

🦶 Whiteboard Wednesday: Why Poor Blood Flow Causes Foot Wounds

Dr. Rick Hershberger, vascular surgeon in Sarasota, breaks down an important — and often misunderstood — problem: how blocked leg arteries lead to non-healing foot wounds.

When blood flow to the foot is normal, wounds usually heal. But when arteries in the leg become blocked, blood is forced to detour through tiny collateral vessels. While these small vessels help some, they can never replace one healthy, wide-open artery.

That’s where modern vascular care makes a difference.
Using minimally invasive techniques, Dr. Hershberger can:

Navigate through arterial blockages with a wire

Open narrowed arteries with a balloon

Place a stent when needed

Restore strong, direct blood flow to the foot

The result? Better circulation, improved healing, and limb preservation — often performed as an outpatient procedure in about two hours.

If you or a loved one has a foot wound that won’t heal, poor circulation may be the reason.

The Psychology of Aesthetics: It’s More Than Appearance

Aesthetics and cosmetics are often misunderstood. Many people think it’s about meeting society’s standards—perfect skin, fillers, or fitting a certain image. But real aesthetic care goes much deeper than that.

True aesthetics is about lasting self-confidence—feeling comfortable in your own skin, not just for today, but long term. It’s not about chasing trends. It’s about helping you feel like yourself again.

That’s why regenerative and bioregenerative aesthetics focus on supporting your body’s natural ability to heal and restore itself. The goal is to help you return to a time when you felt confident, balanced, and at ease—before scars, sun damage, or aging changed how you felt.

Aesthetics is evolving. It’s no longer just about how you look—it’s about how you feel, inside and out.

Ready to take the next step? Call our office at (941) 294-5146 to schedule a consultation and learn more about personalized aesthetic care focused on natural, confident results.
