What is vein disease?

Veins carry blood through your body and back to your heart. Unhealthy habits and certain medical conditions can lead to vein problems, such as:

Spider veins – Clusters of visible veins on your face or legs
Varicose veins – Swollen, enlarged veins deeper in the skin than spider veins
Venous insufficiency (venous reflux disease) – Damaged vein valves that can’t keep blood flowing forward

Vein disease in your legs may make them feel heavy, achy or weak. You may also experience itchy, burning or tingling skin. Treatment can help you feel better.

Your Care Plan

Your Vein Clinic provider may use duplex ultrasound to see how well blood flows through your legs or another part of your body. Based on your test results and health history, your clinic team may recommend one or more treatments. Ask your insurance provider about its requirements for coverage.

Compression Therapy

You might benefit from compression socks — long, tight stockings that improve circulation in your lower body, helping blood flow back to the heart.

Microphlebectomy

If you have large varicose veins, a doctor may remove them in pieces through tiny incisions in the skin. You’ll return home the same day as this outpatient procedure. Your scars will be barely noticeable and fade over time.

Radiofrequency Ablation (ClosureFast)

This minimally invasive treatment uses heat to close a damaged vein, rerouting blood through healthier vessels. Your doctor makes only a small opening in the skin, and you return home the same day. You can resume your activities in about two weeks. You’ll find this treatment option at OSF Medical Group – Surgery in Princeton.

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy injects saltwater or a special liquid solution into spider veins or varicose veins to make them disappear. Gradually, the veins collapse and fade, and nearby blood vessels take over their job. You can most likely return to your activities the same day as treatment.

VenaSeal

This minimally invasive procedure uses a special medical glue to seal off diseased veins, letting blood flow through healthier veins. Your doctor makes only a small opening in the skin, and you can resume your activities right afterward. You’ll find this treatment option at OSF Medical Group – Surgery in Princeton.

Quit Smoking

Smoking reduces blood flow and damages blood vessels, making it hard for your body to heal from vein disease. If you use tobacco products, expect your Vein Clinic provider to refer you to resources that can help you stop smoking for good.
