What Is a Varicose Vein?
Varicose veins are often painful and can cause symptoms like aching, throbbing, muscle cramping, and swelling in the legs and ankles. In severe cases, they may lead to leg ulcers or blood clots. Varicose veins tend to run in families and become more common with age as the veins lose elasticity.
Causes of Varicose Veins
Age
As we age, the valves inside the veins can naturally lose strength and flexibility, allo wing backward blood flow. Varicose veins are more common in older adults.

Pregnancy
Hormonal changes during pregnancy relax the walls of veins, and the increased blood volume puts more pressure on them. The growing uterus also affects the vena cava, which is the main vein that returns blood to the heart. As a result, circulation from the legs and feet decreases.

Genetics
Some people inherit a tendency to develop weak vein valves or walls. Varicose veins can run in families.

Standing or sitting for long periods
This increases pressure in the veins of the legs and may cause valves to weaken over time. Jobs that require a lot of standing or sitting make varicose veins more likely to develop.

Obesity and weight gain
Extra weight puts additional pressure on the veins and is a contributing risk factor. Losing weight helps prevent varicose veins from getting worse.

How We Treat Varicose Veins
VIA Health & Medspa offers the most effective and cutting-edge vein procedures to permanently and painlessly remove varicose veins.
ClosureFast™ Varicose Vein Treatment
ClosureFast™ is an innovative treatment that uses radiofrequency energy or heat to close the diseased vein, redirecting blood flow to healthy veins and relieving symptoms.
Treatment method: ClosureFast™ is a minimally invasive procedure performed regularly by Dr. Fayad at our vein clinic. It uses thermal energy delivered through a small catheter to shrink and cut off blood flow to the diseased vein.
Procedure experience: This is a 30- to 60-minute outpatient treatment performed on one leg per appointment, with local anesthesia along the leg to prevent pain.
Recovery expectations: On average, patients resume normal activities within a few days.
VenaSeal™ Varicose Vein Treatment
VenaSeal™ delivers a small amount of a specially formulated medical adhesive to seal the affected vein, rerouting blood to nearby healthy veins, which provides symptom relief.
Treatment method: VenaSeal™ is a simple procedure that closes diseased veins with a special solution delivered through a small catheter.
Procedure experience: This treatment takes 30-60 minutes. It can be performed on both legs with minimal pain and requires no anesthesia.
Recovery expectations: Typically, patients return to normal activity the same day.
Endovenous Laser Treatment
Endovenous laser treatment, or EVLT, is a minimally invasive procedure for treating varicose veins. It uses laser energy to close off a particular vein, stopping blood from flowing through it. The symptoms begin to disappear once the circulation ceases in the affected vein.
EVLT allows blood to flow freely through healthy veins without getting caught up in damaged ones. This procedure involves inserting a small laser into the vein. Local anesthesia is provided to minimize discomfort.
Ambulatory Phlebectomy
Sclerotherapy Vein Treatment
Spider Vein Laser Treatment
This minimally invasive procedure removes unwanted spider veins on the legs or face. During the treatment, a laser light is directed at the vein, causing it to slowly fade and disappear. The procedure usually takes 15-30 minutes. A laser sends strong bursts of light to the vein, which generates heat and causes the vein to collapse and be reabsorbed into the body.
This therapy requires between 1 and 6 treatments to remove spider veins fully. The procedure is usually painless, with patients feeling only a slight stinging or prickling sensation as the laser pulses touch the skin. After treatment, patients can expect some minor redness, swelling, and bruising, which clears up within a week or two. Laser therapy provides a safe and effective way to eliminate spider veins permanently.
