Varicose Vein Treatment Q&A

What is varicose vein treatment?

Varicose vein treatment includes various methods used to remove varicose veins and their cause. Varicose veins are enlarged, visible veins, but they are usually caused by a problem with the deeper vessels that feed them. Though they may occur anywhere on the body, they most often affect the legs.

Your veins are lined with valves that help the blood move against gravity back to the heart. These valves prevent the blood from flowing downward. However, almost all of us will eventually experience these valves starting to fail. As the blood pools in the lower leg, symptoms such as Restless Leg Syndrome, ankle swelling, leg cramping, and tired or aching legs start to occur.

Varicose veins develop when these valves stop working correctly, and the extra pressure from the blood pushing on the vein wall causes it to enlarge and become distorted.

You may consider your varicose veins a cosmetic concern, but 95% of the time, there is a medical issue at hand. When left untreated, your enlarged veins affect circulation and may lead to other health problems like skin damage, leg swelling, and, eventually, leg ulcers.

Colorado Skin and Vein offers decades of experience to ensure the most effective varicose vein treatment. The office has a variety of proven vein treatments to prevent problems and improve the look of your skin.

Am I a candidate for varicose vein treatment?

The vascular experts at Colorado Skin and Vein determine the cause of your vein issues and determine the best plan for your varicose vein treatment after a consultation. You are likely a candidate for treatment if your varicose veins cause:

Visible varicose veins
Small vessels around the inside of the knee or ankle
Pain or swelling in your legs
Your legs to feel heavy, achy, or tired
Skin discoloration around the ankles
Nighttime leg cramps
Restless legs syndrome (RLS)
Itching or burning around the inside of the legs or back of the calves
Healed or active lower leg ulcers

These symptoms usually indicate venous insufficiency, which occurs when you have weak or malfunctioning valves that allow blood to flow in the wrong direction. This is also called venous reflux.

What are the types of varicose vein treatments?

Colorado Skin and Vein has the largest array of lasers and tools for varicose vein treatment. Options include:

Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA)

During EVLA, your Colorado Skin and Vein provider inserts a small laser into the affected vein and delivers light waves that safely close even the most severely damaged veins.

VenaSeal™

VenaSeal is a groundbreaking, innovative treatment for varicose veins and venous reflux. For this treatment, the team seals your damaged vein using a special medical-grade glue. There are no irritating solutions, anesthesia, or heat needed with VenaSeal.

Endovenous radiofrequency (EVRF) Put this one first

For EVRF, the Colorado Skin and Vein team uses the ClosureFast™ system, which shuts down unhealthy veins using radiofrequency energy, a low-energy, controlled heat.

The vascular technicians at Colorado Skin and Vein have 17 years of surgical experience and treat all types of vascular concerns using spa-type treatment.
