Vein Center FAQ

Q: Can my varicose veins or spider veins harm me?
 
A: In its advanced forms, the malfunctioning of the vein system that leads to these abnormal veins can lead to skin damage, phlebitis, and ulceration.  In its less advanced forms, patients can suffer from severe pain, fatigue, burning, itching, and restlessness of the legs.
 

Q: Don't my legs NEED these veins?
 
A: Varicose veins are already flowing in the wrong direction and therefore are only hurting your leg's circulation as it is.  Furthermore, over 90% of the blood leaving your leg leaves through the femoral vein which is deep in the leg and unaffected by the treatments discussed which are only applied to superficial veins under the skin.  In fact, closure of the faulty superficial veins reduces the load on the deeper veins and can actually enhance the function of the deeper vein systems and improves your body's ability to remove toxins from your leg's circulation.
 

Q: Does insurance cover these treatments?
 
A: Most insurance companies will cover EVLT for symptomatic venous insufficiency.  Coverage for other procedures will vary from carrier to carrier.  Most carriers will not cover treatments performed solely for cosmetic benefit.
