Why Treat Vein Problems Now?

Maybe your career requires long hours on your feet, such as standing at a podium delivering lectures to your students or tending to your patients on a long nursing shift. You may have only noticed minor visible veins at first, but over time, you started to notice that your legs felt heavier and you experienced more aching and swelling.

An Important Note:

While age is not a factor in screening patients for vein treatment, mobility is a factor. Patients must be able to walk on their own when they come into the clinic for treatment.
