Healthy blood circulation relies on a network of arteries and veins. Arteries send blood supplies to all areas of the body. Veins bring deoxygenated blood back to the heart. This system requires veins in some regions of the body, particularly in the legs, to work against gravity. A series of one-way valves in the veins prevents blood from flowing backward and pooling in the lower extremities.

Unfortunately, factors like age, poor lifestyle choices and excessive pressure on the venous system can weaken the valve mechanism. Spider veins develop when superficial veins don’t drain thoroughly due to valve malfunction, creating dark, web-like patterns that develop near the skin’s surface. Varicose veins are the result of blood pooling in larger, deeper veins. These protruding, twisted, rope-like veins can be a sign of an underlying issue with potentially deadly complications. 

While spider veins are not a severe health concern most of the time, the story is different for varicose veins. Their unappealing appearance causes many patients to forego certain clothing and activities to avoid embarrassment, and if left untreated, varicose veins can have consequences that extend far beyond the cosmetic.

Over time, varicose veins can lead to a range of uncomfortable, debilitating and even life-threatening conditions, including:

• Tiredness and fatigue
• Pain, throbbing, aching or cramping 
• Itching, burning or tenderness around the abnormal veins
• Heaviness in the affected limb

• Persistent swelling
• Changes in skin color or texture
• Venous ulcers
• Excessive bleeding
• Deep vein thrombosis (blood clots)

Tennessee Vein Center provides a wide range of minimally invasive treatments for patients with spider veins or varicose veins. We believe that a personalized approach to vein treatment is the best way to give our patients the care they deserve, and that offering so many options allows us to carefully design the treatment plan that will be the most effective for each individual. Learn more about our vein treatments below:

ENDOVENOUS THERMAL ABLATION

VEINWAVE™

Contact us today to learn more about our vein services and schedule your free vein screening.

Our vein procedures are safe, quick and effective. Once a vein has been shut down by any of our minimally invasive treatments, it will be absorbed by your body and blood flow will naturally transfer to healthy veins. Treated spider veins or varicose veins will never come back. However, that does not prevent new vein problems from developing, so yearly follow-up appointments are recommended to monitor your vein health. Continue making lifestyle choices that improve circulation and support proper vein function to lower your risk of requiring further treatment.
