A visible vein can make you think twice about wearing your favorite sundress. Many individuals have varicose veins in the lower legs, and often, they can be uncomfortable and a significant source of insecurity. At Cosmedica Aesthetics, we use sclerotherapy as a varicose vein treatment in Burlington. Let’s look at what causes varicose veins to form and how you can prevent them.
Varicose Veins: A Brief Overview
Varicose veins are visible, swollen blood vessels underneath your skin. They form when the walls of your veins weaken. As the blood pressure increases in your veins, it causes them to stretch, bulge, and twist.
Varicose veins are extremely common. Even though they may look concerning, they are often just a cosmetic concern. However, there are risk factors our patients should be aware of, such as:
- Family history can increase your chances of inheriting varicose veins.
- Lifestyle choices like sitting or standing for too long can decrease blood circulation. A tip from our team of experts: When sitting down, remember to uncross your legs for even blood flow.
- Aging causes veins to lose elasticity, weakening them.
- Hormone level changes can cause veins to stretch.
At Cosmedica Aesthetics, our team understands the effect varicose veins have on your confidence, which is why we offer sclerotherapy, a varicose vein removal treatment.
Sclerotherapy: Treatment and Candidacy
When providing sclerotherapy, our nurse injectors will inject a saltwater and sugar solution into your vein to promote healing. Our varicose vein treatment in Burlington is great for individuals who have small visible veins and want to fix them cosmetically.
We do not recommend sclerotherapy to individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a blood clotting disorder.
