What are Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that commonly appear on the legs and feet. They form when the tiny valves inside the veins weaken or become damaged, causing blood to flow backward and pool. As a result, the veins swell and become visibly raised on the skin’s surface.

While they may start out as a mild concern, varicose veins can worsen over time if left untreated. They can cause swelling, pain, fatigue, and even more serious health issues. At Vein-ity, we take your condition seriously and offer treatment options that improve both how your legs feel and how they look.
