Varicose Vein Treatment

Varicose veins are more than a cosmetic concern-they can cause pain, heaviness, swelling, and fatigue in your legs, affecting your lifestyle and confidence. At our Houston practice, we provide precise, minimally invasive treatments to restore vein health and help you live pain-free.

Why Vein Health Matters?

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that usually appear on the legs due to weak or faulty vein valves. Blood may pool in the veins instead of flowing smoothly back to the heart, causing bulging and discomfort. Untreated varicose veins can progress to chronic venous insufficiency, leg ulcers, blood clots, and skin changes, reducing mobility and quality of life.

Is Varicose Vein Disease Curable?

Modern procedures like Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), Endo venous Laser Therapy (EVLT), and Sclerotherapy can effectively treat and eliminate diseased veins. Once treated, the vein does not return, though new veins may develop over time. Early diagnosis, proper treatment, and lifestyle management ensure long-term relief and healthier legs.
