Varicose Veins

About Varicose Veins

Varicose veins (spider veins) tend to develop after prolonged pressure on the legs. In order to understand how varicose veins occur in the body, one must first understand how veins actually function in the body.

Veins are not arteries
Quite a few people with varicose veins believe that arteries and veins are the same. Actually, arteries deliver fresh blood away from the heart towards the legs while veins bring old blood back to the heart. The old blood in the veins contains waste such as carbon dioxide which has to be returned to the heart and the lungs. Carbon dioxide is then lost and at that point oxygen is instead, picked up.

What to Expect from a Varicose Vein Diagnosis
The first thing we do when making a varicose vein diagnosis for treatment is map out your varicose veins using diagnostic ultrasound. Then using a systematic approach, we start treating your varicose veins by eliminating the source of the problem. Our physicians employ lasers, a varicose vein innovation that began rapidly rising in popularity around the world in about 2002.

We also use ultrasound at every visit to give us a clear picture of which varicose vein we need to treat. This ultrasound also allows us to see varicose veins ­­that could previously only be eliminated through surgery.
