VARICOSE AND SPIDER VEIN TREATMENTS NEAR PAPILLION, NE

WHAT ARE VARICOSE AND SPIDER VEINS?

Varicose veins and spider veins are common conditions, affecting mainly women, particularly as they age. These vein problems can vary in severity from minor annoyances to significant issues that cause pain and decrease quality of life. They develop when vein valves are damaged, disrupting normal blood flow in the legs. This damage often results from the veins expanding. When valves malfunction, blood flows backward and accumulates in the vein, leading to increased pressure that weakens and swells the vein.

Our spider and varicose vein treatments near Papillion target damaged veins to help blood return smoothly to the heart. By addressing the formation of varicose or spider veins from too much standing, hormonal changes, aging, or extra weight, these procedures improve leg appearance and comfort. Our treatment options focus on reducing pain and preventing more vein issues by ensuring blood moves correctly through the legs. Spider and varicose veins do have some key differences. These include:

Appearance:

  • Varicose veins: Thick, twisted, and prominently bulging under the skin, appearing in blue, red, or flesh colors.
  • Spider veins: Fine, web-like lines near the skin's surface, usually red or blue.

Location:

  • Varicose veins: Primarily in legs (thighs to ankles), and can appear in the pelvic area during pregnancy.
  • Spider veins: Often on legs and sometimes the face.

Discomfort:

  • Varicose veins: Cause leg discomfort like aching, heaviness, or throbbing. Can also lead to itching, burning, or swelling.
  • Spider veins: Usually painless but can cause mild discomfort.

Severity:

  • Varicose veins: More serious; untreated, they may result in skin ulcers.
  • Spider veins: Mainly a cosmetic issue.

Causes:

  • Long periods of standing
  • Pregnancy
  • Aging
  • Excess weight
  • Genetic factors
