Vascular Conditions
Varicose veins are abnormal, dilated branches of the main veins in your legs. These are generally on the skin surface or just under it. Varicose veins develop when valves in your legs fail, allowing blood to pool and causing veins to stretch and bulge.
Varicose veins are a combination of cosmetic and physical issues that can both affect your self-esteem and your health. Knowing about the various treatment options along with the pros and cons of each can help you get on the road to better looking and feeling legs.
As always, we are here at the Vein Institute of NJ to help you achieve your personal health goals. Now, let’s review some of the different ways you can manage varicose veins
