Understanding Varicose Veins
What Are Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that typically appear in the legs and feet due to poor blood circulation and weakened vein walls or valves. They may appear blue, purple, or bulging and can range from cosmetic concerns to medically significant issues.
Causes and Risk Factors
-
Genetics (family history of vein issues)
-
Prolonged standing or sitting
-
Obesity or pregnancy
-
Aging and hormonal changes
Symptoms That Shouldn’t Be Ignored
-
Heavy, aching legs
-
Swelling, especially at the end of the day
-
Burning, itching, or cramping
-
Skin discoloration or ulcers
These symptoms may signal chronic venous insufficiency, a condition that can worsen if left untreated.
Why Treat Varicose Veins?
Health Risks of Untreated Vein Disease
Ignoring varicose veins can lead to complications such as:
-
Blood clots (DVT)
-
Venous ulcers
-
Skin infections
-
Permanent damage to the veins
Quality of Life and Cosmetic Concerns
Even if they’re not painful, varicose veins can affect your self-confidence and limit your wardrobe choices. Treatment not only improves your health—it restores your confidence.
Varicose Vein Treatment Options at Mark Medical Care Riverhead
At our Riverhead location, we offer a full range of advanced, minimally invasive treatments tailored to your unique needs.
Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT)
A quick, outpatient procedure using laser energy to seal the affected vein from the inside, redirecting blood flow to healthy veins. Minimal downtime, maximum results.
Sclerotherapy for Spider and Small Varicose Veins
This involves injecting a safe solution into the vein to make it close and fade away over time. Ideal for smaller, cosmetic veins.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
Similar to EVLT but using radiofrequency instead of laser. It’s another excellent option for large or painful veins with a quick recovery period.
Ultrasound-Guided Vein Evaluation
Before any treatment, we use non-invasive ultrasound imaging to assess your vein health and ensure precise, personalized care.
