Legs Need a Spring Break Too!

Now that Spring has arrived, even the weather here in Florida gets warmer. If you have been suffering with varicose veins or spider veins on your legs and hiding them all winter, your luck is running out. The warm weather will soon turn hot and everyone will shed those long pants. Now is the time to get rid of those unsightly, rope-like veins snaking up your legs.

Spring is the perfect time to start sclerotherapy treatment. Sometimes the affected leg needs to have multiple treatments. Over the course of a few months, you will be finally proud to sport that cute skirt that you always wanted to wear. Or feel confident golfing with your buddies in your Bermuda shorts.

Varicose veins are caused by the walls and the valves in your veins breaking down and not functioning properly. This results in blood pooling in those particular veins, causing the bluish-purple, popped-out snake veins on your legs. These are not attractive and lead some folks to think that your health is not top-notch.

Sclerotherapy is a simple procedure that is performed by a vascular surgeon in his office. He injects a saline solution into the affected vein, which causes it to clot and then the vein “shuts down”. Your blood will then find other veins to course through, leaving the “bad vein” to disintegrate and reabsorb into your body. It is a great solution which has practically no down time afterward.

Getting rid of embarrassing varicose veins will let you attend to other matters. You won’t have to worry about what other people think when you go to the grocery store in shorts. Or wondering if you are in pain when they see you work out at the gym. Sclerotherapy treatment is a solution that can free you from these worries. You will feel good every time you look in the mirror and your confidence will increase.
