Varicose veins can be painful, but even without this symptom, these veins are a cosmetic concern for many men and women in Monroe, Alexandria, Shreveport, the Ark-La-Miss, Southlake, TX and the surrounding areas of Northeast Louisiana. Fortunately, you can do something about your varicose veins. Dr. Janine Hopkins, M.D., F.A.A.D., board-certified dermatologist, offers varicose vein treatments to eliminate the problem.

What Are Varicose Veins?

The veins in your body normally sit below the surface and are not visible. When blood collects in the veins due to venous insufficiency, the veins swell and become visible. Some varicose veins do not cause any symptoms while others cause discomfort. The primary reasons to seek treatment, however, are the cosmetic effects of varicose veins. The gnarled and bulging look of varicose veins makes many people feel uncomfortable. Additionally, once the veins are treated, blood flows more efficiently through surrounding veins.

How Does Varicose Veins Treatment Work?

After the injections, it will take time for the vein to disappear. Dr. Hopkins may recommend steps to take to prevent new varicose veins from developing, such as wearing compression stockings and elevating your feet.
