Strategies for success come in all shapes and sizes. While the post before talks about your responsibilities for your own health (in most cases), I’d also like to take the opportunity to point out that adding, losing, adding, losing… well you get the cycle… often causes varicose veins.

Pregnancy also has a way of making those not-so-lovely stretch marks, and with increased pressure the onset of varicose veins. Sometimes, it even “travels” in families.

The good news is finding a good vein doctor is no longer a chore. Nor is the procedure to eliminate them. I won’t get into the gory details of yesteryear’s way of dealing with this issue. Suffice to say that endovenous laser treatment (EVLT) works amazingly well, and even ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy (for spider veins).

Hmmm… Surgery or ultrasound/lasers, there’s no hesitation on which to choose is there?!

Do look for the very best vein clinics with the best reputations. And if you use the link above, you’ll easily be able to find such a clinic near you just by entering your zip code!
