“The whole soul is in the whole body, in the bones and in the veins and in the heart; it is no more present in one part than in another, and it is no less present in one part than in the whole, nor in the whole less than in one part.”

Conditions

Conditions We Treat

Venous disease is generally caused by the improper flow of blood in the veins of the legs. When valves within the veins malfunction or fail, blood is not pumped back toward the heart as it should be and tends to pool in the lower legs. The blood pooling causes markedly increased pressure in the veins.

This increase in pressure leads to a host of issues that can be both aesthetically displeasing as well as uncomfortable, if not painful. Fortunately, modern treatments provide excellent outcomes that can rejuvenate the appearance of the legs as well as restore a higher quality of life to those who suffer from venous disorders.

Unsightly Veins

One of the first signs of venous disease is the appearance of unattractive veins, visible through the surface of the skin. Fortunately, unsightly veins are highly treatable and the look, feel and comfort of your legs can be greatly improved with modern treatment methods.

Spider Veins

Superficial dilated capillaries that are visible through the skin

Varicose Veins

Enlarged, ropy veins that bulge like cords, frequently blue or purple in color.

Reticular Veins

Larger than the capillaries that form spider veins, often connected to spider veins.
