Varicose veins are more than a cosmetic concern. Although most people think of spider veins as unsightly, they may signal more serious underlying vein disease and reflux – especially if associated with leg swelling and heaviness during the day, or Restless Leg Syndrome at night. Damaged veins take many different forms, from small surface veins to large, grape-like clusters. No matter what size or shape, these are signs of vein disease and may be caused by faulty valves. With varicose veins treatment is important because, without treatment, they may lead to more serious complications, such as ulcerations, blood clots or spontaneous venous rupture. Because varicose vein disease is a medical condition, many of our treatments for varicose veins and reflux are covered by insurance.
