Frequently Asked Questions
What causes leg vein problems?›
Most leg vein issues stem from venous reflux, where weakened valves in the leg veins allow blood to pool instead of flowing back to the heart. Risk factors include age, prolonged standing, pregnancy, family history, and obesity.
Is leg vein treatment covered by insurance?›
When leg vein treatment is medically necessary (confirmed by symptoms and ultrasound), most insurance plans including Medicare cover procedures like laser ablation and radiofrequency ablation. Our team verifies benefits before treatment.
How long is recovery after leg vein treatment?›
Most patients walk out of the office and return to normal activities within one to two days. Compression stockings are typically worn for one to two weeks after the procedure.
What is the difference between varicose veins and spider veins?›
Varicose veins are larger, bulging veins that often cause pain, swelling, and heaviness. Spider veins are smaller, web-like veins closer to the skin surface. Both can be treated, but varicose veins are more likely to indicate underlying venous reflux.
