What is Vein Disease?
Also known as venous disease, chronic vein insufficiency, or venous reflux disease, vein disease develops when the valves in your leg stop functioning properly. Healthy veins efficiently push blood through your body and up toward your heart.
When the valves begin to fail, blood flows backward and pools in your leg veins, culminating in vein disease.

Yes, vein treatments are safe and only seal off veins that don’t work properly. Your body is equipped with more than enough veins to move blood around. When the malfunctioning veins are closed off, your body adapts and reroutes blood into healthy veins without skipping a beat.
Spider veins and varicose veins both originate from vein disease. However, varicose veins are swollen and painful vessels that twist and bulge out from your skin, while spider veins are smaller, less pronounced, and usually not painful.
