Unsightly Veins
One of the first signs of venous disease is the appearance of unattractive veins, visible through the surface of the skin. These veins may be flat or raised, small or large, and a variety of colors ranging from red to blue to purple. While veins are vital to the health and function of the human body, most would prefer not to have to see them visibly on the surface. And when unsightly veins are apparent beneath the skin, patients should consult their doctor for a full workup to determine their venous health. Fortunately, unsightly veins are highly treatable and the look, feel, and comfort of your legs can be greatly improved with modern treatment methods.
