Many people think varicose veins are simply unattractive, not realizing that they can be more than just cosmetic. Pain, swelling, fatigue, burning, and itching in the legs are common symptoms that signal early stages of vein disease, which can lead to more serious conditions. The board-certified vascular surgeons at VeinSolutions are leaders in cosmetic and therapeutic vein care, offering treatment for spider and varicose veins.
Hot Mama’s founder and CEO Megan’s story isn’t unlike many others: “As a CEO and busy mom running a household and a business, I’m on my feet all day. When varicose vein pain interfered with the things I enjoy – like pushing my kids on the swings and buying the latest fashions for my retail stores – I knew I needed help. I visited a board-certified vascular surgeon at VeinSolutions for a vein assessment. After a simple procedure, I can do things I love – pain free, and I feel confident in shorts again.”
Treatment options:
-
Compression hose therapy – helps to support weakened veins and may enable you to lead a pain-free, active lifestyle
-
Sclerotherapy– injections of FDA-approved solutions help spider veins on the legs diminish over time
-
Light therapy – appropriate for spider veins on the face or trunk as well as blood-based, or vascular birthmarks
-
Phlebectomies – an in-office procedure done under local anesthetic to remove larger, unsightly veins
-
VNUS Closure – an in-office procedure using radiofrequency to close malfunctioning larger varicose veins.
-
Vein stripping – outpatient, or same-day surgery, performed at Fairview Southdale Hospital, to remove a vein that isn’t working correctly.
All procedures are minimally-invasive and you are usually back to daily activities with a few days. Call VeinSolutions to schedule a vein assessment, 952-831-VEIN (8346).
