About 24 Million Americans Have Varicose Veins

Many don’t choose to have them removed because the traditional procedure is painful and requires a long recovery. However, new surgical techniques have made the procedure considerably less invasive and much less painful.

What Are Varicose and Spider Veins?

Varicose veins are created when valves channeling blood toward the heart do not function well, allowing blood to pool in the leg. The veins become enlarged and congested with blood. Spider veins are the smaller red, blue or purple veins on the surface of the skin.
