The Vein Center of North Florida is committed to the treatment of all types of venous insufficiency and disease. Many people seek treatment for cosmetic purposes. Yes, bulging veins are ugly, but they can also cause deeper medical issues that need to be addressed. In fact, more than 30 million Americans suffer from serious forms of vein disease, making vein disease a more common problem than heart disease or stroke.
The purpose of our veins is to carry deoxygenated blood back to our heart. The heart pumps blood for the arteries to carry to your organs and other parts of the body and the veins then pump the deoxygenated blood back up to the heart. When a vein is not working properly it becomes more difficult to pump blood back to the heart. This causes the blood to pool, which results in bulging of the vein.
Spider veins get their name from their web-like appearance. They may become discolored and can sometimes look like a bruise. While these veins are ugly, they do not bulge like varicose veins and are not considered medically necessary by insurance. We proudly use ASCLERA for sclerotherapy.
Varicose veins bulge and are often blue and/or black in appearance. They commonly occur in the legs and ankles. Varicose veins can cause other symptoms and medical problems including cramping, aching, burning, throbbing, tingling, swelling, ulcers, sores and rashes.
