What Are Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins occur when faulty valves cause blood to pool in the legs, leading to bulging, twisted veins. While they may look cosmetic, they reflect an underlying circulation issue known as chronic venous insufficiency (CVI).

Symptoms Beyond Appearance

• Aching, throbbing, or heaviness in the legs
• Swelling and fatigue
• Skin discoloration or ulcers in severe cases

Left untreated, varicose veins can lead to inflammation, clotting, and long-term skin changes.

Modern Treatments—No Surgery Needed

At Sheen Vein, we offer minimally invasive options such as:

• Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT)
• Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy
• Foam Sclerotherapy

These in-office procedures close diseased veins and restore healthy circulation—often with no downtime.

Functional and Aesthetic Benefits

Treating venous disease not only relieves pain but also improves skin tone and leg appearance. Pairing vein treatment with PBM or red-light therapy may further reduce post-procedure inflammation and enhance recovery.
