Vein Conditions

Treat the Cause of Vein Disease

Eliminate the Symptoms

At Athens Vein & Aesthetics, we know you’ll get the best results when we treat the underlying cause of vein disease rather than simply addressing the symptoms.

It’s important you understand vein disease, its most common cause, and all the ways it may progress if left untreated.

Varicose veins may be caused by heredity.

0%

Women who will develop varicose veins in their lifetime.

Most vein disease is hereditary. If a parent or grandparent had varicose or spider veins, it’s more likely that you will develop the same conditions.

Because they may not have understood the genetic factors that contributed to their disease, you probably grew up hearing you could avoid the same fate simply by modifying your habits.

Hereditary Trait
Chronic Venous Insufficiency Before And After 4

While habits like crossing your legs don’t cause chronic venous insufficiency that can eventually result in varicose veins.

It is true that standing for long periods at your job, pregnancy, your age, and your weight can contribute to the symptoms you’re experiencing, the real cause of varicose and spider veins is actually poor function of the valves that control blood flow.

Unhealthy valves allow blood to flow in the wrong direction rather than efficiently back to the heart. Eventually this leads to the bulging, ropey, or otherwise visible veins we associate with vein disease.

Don’t Let Vein Disease Diminish Your Quality of Life

Untreated vein disease can also cause more serious health problems down the line.

Because vein disease is progressive in nature, without treatment, most people find that the discomfort from vein disease tends to increase over time.

If you have painful legs that ache all day, keep you up at night, or you’re experiencing self-conscious feelings about the appearance of your legs it’s time to see a vein specialist today.
