Vein Treatment in Midtown, NYC

There are many effective procedures that can be used to treat your varicose veins and spider veins

Also known as varicosities, varicose veins are enlarged veins that are caused due to high pressure in the veins in our legs. They appear red or purple and may form a bulge that is visible from the surface of the skin. Varicose veins can be caused by an underlying disease called chronic venous insufficiency.

Some factors that can increase the risk of varicose veins are weight gain, increased age, pregnancy, family history and prolonged sitting or standing. They’re also common in women.

They are often caused by poor circulation in the veins that lie deeper within the legs. The veins in the legs are responsible for carrying blood back up to the heart. Since the blood flow upwards needs to be consistent, valves inside our body ensure that the blood does not flow in the opposite direction. Spider veins are caused if a valve becomes dysfunctional and the blood flow is downwards.

Spider veins may cause swelling due to significant discomfort. Symptoms include restlessness and fatigue.

This is also caused due to the dysfunctioning of valves that are responsible for trapping blood and preventing it from falling back down in our body due to gravity. If the valves are unable to do their job, blood pools in the veins, leading to a condition called the venous reflux. The concentrated blood causes swelling and leads to the formation of spider veins and varicose veins.

Venous insufficiency can cause the development of non-healing wounds known as venous stasis ulcers as well.

They are sudden and painful involuntary contractions of our muscles. A cramp may occur multiple times till its resolved and the muscle goes back to its normal course of contracting and relaxing. Involuntary contracting is called spasming if it’s sustained and forceful, it can lead to cramping and hardening of the muscle.

Long periods of exercising and physical activity can cause cramps and in severe cases, may lead to venous insufficiency

Also known as peripheral edema, leg swelling can be caused due to a number of reasons which include: salt retention, congestive heart failure, pregnancy, cellulitis and chronic venous insufficiency.

Other causes include blood clots in the leg, Lymphedema, kidney infections, idiopathic edema and broken leg and injuries.

The sensation of heavy fatigue in the leg is called leg heaviness. It can occur due to a number of causes such as muscular disjoints, circulatory disorders and venous insufficiency.

Pregnant women are likely to experience this since pregnancy affects blood circulation to a great extent. A huge influx of pregnancy hormones can cause the veins to dilate, which can increase pressure in the veins and lead to leg heaviness.

The symptoms include an uncontrollable urge to move your legs, which is more than often accompanied by cramps and a tingling or itching sensation in the legs.  It is caused by a problem called basal ganglia which is a region located in the brain. Damaged cells in the region can lead to muscle spasms and involuntary muscle movement. Another name for the Restless Leg Syndrome is Willis-Ekbom Disease.
Excessive smoking, obesity, medication, increased alcohol intake and vein diseases are some of the cause

Formed by dilation of a small group of veins and blood vessels, spider veins can appear anywhere on the body but they formulate more commonly on legs and faces. Since the veins are situated closer to the skin, the marks can be seen through the surface. Predominantly, spider veins are caused due to dysfunctional valves that are responsible for regulating blood supply in the veins.

Spider veins are more common than people think.

Around 50–57 women have this condition, especially pregnant women.

Approximately 40 to 45 percent of men are also prone to developing this condition

Other than putting pressure on your legs for longer periods of time, heredity also has a role in the formulation of spider veins

An effective way to get rid of spider veins, sclerotherapy uses a salt solution that is injected into the veins. The solution damages the insides of the vein and creates a clot which is eventually absorbed by the surrounding tissue. The choice of the salt solution depends on the size of the vein that needs to be treated.

While this method is effective, the doctor might need to inject the salt solution more than once. One side effect of the procedure is temporary redness around the treated area.

Similar to spider veins, varicose veins are caused by dysfunctional valves when the blood starts to flow in the opposite direction. The effects of this could be swelling and bulging of veins through the skin.

The veins appear dark purple or blue in color through the skin. Worsened cases of varicose veins can cause throbbing, cramping and itching in the legs as well.

Pregnant women are most susceptible to varicose veins because of increased pressure on their legs during pregnancy.

The risk of developing varicose veins significantly increases if an individual is overweight.

There are several home remedies to counter the undesired cosmetic effects of varicose veins, but it is advised to visit a doctor because a burst varicose vein can cause ulcers.

Laser treatment is a minimally invasive method to relieve symptoms of varicose veins. It makes use of laser technology to generate heat in affected areas so that veins can collapse and get absorbed by surrounding tissues. No needles or incisions are required for this procedure.

A catheter is inserted into the veins of the patient that sends short bursts of heat energy into the vein in order to seal it shut. By using an ultrasound scans, the doctors are able to navigate through all the veins and close them.
