VARICOSE VEIN TREATMENT NYC

Information may not be reliable

Varicose veins are twisted, engorged veins that appear on your legs. The condition can happen to any vein in your body, but they’re seen most often in your lower limbs, where your veins are under more pressure. Varicose veins are generally a cosmetic problem, but they can be a sign of a deeper issue.

They appear blue because of the deoxygenated blood they carry back to your lungs. Spider veins are a milder variety of varicose veins. They’re smaller, more superficial and often appear on your legs, face, hands and feet. Treatment for varicose veins is within reach for New Yorkers. Our specialized varicose vein center rank among the top NYC varicose vein clinics.

THE SCIENCE OF VARICOSE VEINS

All the veins in your body have valves that keep deoxygenated blood flowing back toward your heart. The veins in your legs have to work against gravity to do this. Damaged or weak valves and vein walls cause blood to pool. As a result, your veins swell and become even weaker. And that leads to varicose veins.

Although varicose veins aren’t completely predictable, some risk factors are under your control. When you know how to prevent varicose veins, you’ll pay attention if you fall into one of these groups:

• Older age
• Being female
• Being pregnant
• Family history with the condition
• Obesity
• Sedentary lifestyle
• Increased time on your feet (walking or standing)
• Smoking
• Trauma
• Underlying circulatory conditions
