We believe one of the biggest hurdles to vein care is the lack of patient awareness. Most patients assume that spider veins are purely cosmetic problems, whereas they’re often indicative of underlying vein disease. And others believe spider vein and varicose vein treatments are surgical, whereas they’re minimally invasive procedures with no hospitalization or downtime. This article aims to spread accurate information about minimally invasive vein treatments.

Do you have questions about spider veins and varicose veins? Our vein doctor near River Oaks answers the most common questions about vein treatments in Texas,

Which doctor is best for varicose veins?

Varicose veins are dense blood vessels that bulge and protrude out of the skin’s surface because of excessive blood accumulation in the leg veins. They’re caused by chronic venous insufficiency, a medical condition wherein your vein valves collapse and blood flows backward to accumulate in the leg veins. The continued accumulation of blood in leg veins leads to vascular dilation and the formation of varicose veins. As such, varicose veins are vascular problems, and they should be treated by vein doctors.

The official term for a vein doctor is “phlebologist,” i.e., a doctor who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of vein conditions. Vein doctors examine your leg veins, identify the root cause of your vascular problems, and curate personalized vein treatment plans. However, you must find the right vein doctor because some of them only offer cosmetic treatments — they remove varicose veins without addressing the underlying vein disease, which can increase the risk of a relapse.

How do I find the right vein doctor?

  • Location: Look for vein doctors at convenient locations close to your home or place of work. If the vein doctor is too far away, you might not find the time for vein treatments. However, if the vein clinic is close to your home, you can also seek treatment during your lunch break.
  • Ratings: Explore the vein doctor’s online reviews and ratings from patients. You can generally find the vein doctor’s ratings on Facebook, Real Self, and Google. Patients can leave authentic and unbiased reviews for their vein doctors on these platforms.
  • Credentials: You must explore the vein doctor’s credentials to ensure they have the right training. The vein doctor should have ideally attended a reputable medical school, such as the NYU School of Medicine. They should have also completed their residency program and fellowships in subjects related to venous disease.
  • Vascular Imaging: You should look for vein doctors with specialized training in vascular imaging. All vein doctors need to diagnose chronic venous insufficiency using ultrasound scans, such as duplex ultrasound. This helps them curate personalized vein treatment plans that address the root cause of your vein conditions.
  • Minimally Invasive: You must look for vein doctors specializing in minimally invasive vein treatments, such as radiofrequency ablation, endovenous laser ablation, and sclerotherapy. Minimally invasive vein treatments conclude within an hour with no downtime, harsh side effects, or extended recovery period.
  • Bedside Manners: You should look for friendly and compassionate vein doctors with excellent bedside manners. They should patiently listen to your concerns in order to curate personalized vein treatment plans with the least risk of harsh side effects.

Is walking good for varicose veins?

Walking is good for varicose veins because it improves blood circulation and pushes the accumulated blood towards your heart. However, walking only provides temporary relief from the worst symptoms of vein disease — it doesn’t treat varicose veins or chronic venous insufficiency.

Does drinking water help varicose veins?

Drinking water helps you stay hydrated, which improves blood circulation and strengthens the vein walls. Remaining hydrated might lower the risk of vein disease and varicose veins. However, once you have varicose veins, drinking water won’t treat or reverse your vein conditions. It might reduce the worst symptoms, but you’ll need minimally invasive vein treatments for permanent relief from varicose veins.

What exercise is best for varicose veins?

Running, swimming, cycling, and yoga are the best exercises for varicose veins. These cardiovascular exercises improve blood circulation and engage your calf muscles, thereby pushing the accumulated blood towards the heart. However, exercise won’t treat chronic venous insufficiency, so you still need minimally invasive vein treatments for long-lasting relief.

Should you massage varicose veins?

You can massage varicose veins to push the accumulated blood towards your heart, alleviating the worst symptoms of varicose veins and vein disease. However, massage only provides temporary relief from the discomfort caused by vein disease. You need minimally invasive spider vein and varicose vein treatments for long-lasting and permanent relief.

How can I improve circulation in my legs while sitting?

If you have a desk job, you should elevate your legs above your heart’s level to improve blood circulation. If you elevate your legs, gravity will facilitate optimal blood circulation towards the heart. You should also take regular breaks to walk around and stretch your legs. This will prevent blood accumulation in the leg veins. However, home remedies and lifestyle changes can’t treat varicose veins or chronic venous insufficiency — you must consult our vein doctor for minimally invasive vein treatments.
