Millions of Americans suffer not from the pain of varicose veins, but from the shame and inconvenience they bring to their life. In fact, unsightly veins are about as common as mosquitos here in the South. If you suffer from the displeasure of how they make your legs, hands, and face look, you are not alone. Thankfully, there are treatments available that can get you back to feeling confident about yourself and wearing the shorts, skirts, and cropped jeans you long for.

Cosmetic or ‘elective’ treatments (those not considered medically necessary by your insurance) can be performed on spider veins, varicose veins or reticular veins. At The Vein Institute, we treat both medically necessary as well as cosmetic or elective procedures. These are typically performed because either the patient simply wants to remove unattractive or unsightly veins in the legs, hands, face or other areas of the body. Frequently we find that a patient who is genetically predisposed to vein disease will elect to treat early rather than waiting on veins to worsen and begin to affect their quality of life.
