ANSWERS FOR COMMON VEIN QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions About Vein Treatment

Find answers to the most common questions about varicose veins, treatments, recovery, and insurance.

In your leg, you have two sets of veins. They are called deep veins and superficial veins.

Deep veins are in the deeper part of the leg where the muscles are, and superficial veins are right under the skin.

In a normal person, the blood would circulate from the feet towards the heart in both sets of veins.

When someone has a venous insufficiency, the blood will actually go up the deep veins and then go backwards into the superficial vein.

The blood will start pooling in the superficial veins.

Since the superficial veins are closest to the skin, they will start to bulge and create varicose veins. They are often bluish or purple in color.

Patients usually return to work and activities the very same day. Very little downtime is needed for our treatments.
In short, no. Exercise and compression stockings may help reduce some of the symptoms of varicose veins, but usually only medical treatment can effectively get rid of a varicose vein.

It is normal to have some minor discomfort during the procedure. We will do everything that we can to make this as relaxing and comfortable an experience as possible.

After the procedure, patients may experience minor bruising or discomfort in the area of the treated vein, which normally resolves in 3-4 weeks

Overall, patients report minimal pain / discomfort and are able to go back to doing the things they love.

No. Varicose veins can occur deeper in the leg, where one can’t see them. Varicose veins are classified under the spectrum of venous insufficiency disease.

Venous insufficiency disease causes leg discomfort, swelling of the ankles and leg, itching, and weariness. Other signs and symptoms may be prickling, cramping, aching, and heaviness of the lower limbs after prolonged standing.

Keep an eye out for these symptoms besides simply visible veins.

1) Ultrasound Evaluation – Your first visit begins with an in-office ultrasound performed by Agnes Zoltkowski, RVT, our Registered Vascular Technologist. Agnes will evaluate blood flow and vein function, identify areas of concern, and gather the information Dr. Perlmutter needs to understand the underlying cause of your symptoms.

2) Consultation with Dr. Perlmutter – After your ultrasound, you’ll meet with Dr. Jack Perlmutter to review your results, discuss your symptoms and medical history, and address any questions or concerns you may have. Dr. Perlmutter will explain his findings and discuss the treatment options that may be appropriate for you.

3) Personalized Treatment Plan – Based on your ultrasound, consultation, and diagnosis, Dr. Perlmutter and our team will develop a personalized treatment plan based on your individual needs and goals. Depending on your condition, treatment options may include radiofrequency ablation (RFA), sclerotherapy, pneumatic compression, and other therapies. Our team will explain the recommended approach and guide you through the next steps in your care.
