Because we are regarded as one of the best Long Island vein treatment centers, patients value our expertise and experience, and we love to share our knowledge about vein health with our patients. Here, we share answers to 5 of the most common questions we are asked by our patients.
What are varicose veins?
Varicose veins have succumbed to some sort of trauma or vein disease that has caused the vein pump to fail. Instead of pumping blood up towards the heart, blood falls backward and pools. This results in a vein that is swollen, overstretched, and discolored that can also cause aching, heaviness, and poor circulation.
Why do some people get varicose veins, while others don’t?
Hormonal fluctuations in women, being over age 50, and heredity are some of the top factors that contribute to varicose veins. Smoking, inactivity, and obesity are hazardous to your veins and can also increase your risk for bulging leg veins. That said, there are plenty of things you can do to minimize your vein disease risk.
How do I reverse my varicose veins?
Sadly, once varicose veins pop up, they won’t get better without help from a varicose vein treatment specialist in Long Island. Although you can use compression, exercise, and elevation to maintain healthy veins and diminish symptoms, the only way to get rid of varicose veins is through vein removal. Luckily, modern vein treatment at Advanced Vein Care Solutions is fast, easy, and highly effective.
Will my removed vein grow back after treatment?
No, but don’t fear! Your body naturally reroutes blood flow through to healthier veins after treatment so that you can experience better circulation and overall health.
