Trusted by Patients

Ive been going here for several vein treatments and it has been the absolute BEST experience for me. Dr. Fakhoury has a great bedside manner and that alone helped me to get over my anxiety with every procedure. The staff and the entire team are pleasant and caring from the moment that I walk in. I love this place for my numerous vein procedures. Hopefully I will not have to go back after my issues are all solved, but if so, I would gladly go here. Joyce Wilson
I was very impressed with Dr Fakhoury and his staff.Was given extensive ultrasounds on both legs. Dr. Fakhoury took his time to explain everything to me. His nurse was knowledgeable and very nice.The women at front desk were very helpful. Kathleen who made my appointment got me in as a new patient very quickly which I appreciated. I recommend.
Very friendly staff. Dr. Fakoury took the time to thoroughly explain everything from what he saw to how the procedures would be done and follow up care. Everything was timely and efficient. I would definitely recommend Vein & Vascular Institute to my family and friends.

Serious Complications if Left Untreated...

Did you know that varicose veins may be more than a cosmetic issue? If left untreated, varicose veins may lead to more serious complications such as:

  • Infections: Venous diseases can also cause leg ulcers. An ulcer is a break in the skin, which is dangerous due to exposure to bacteria and infection.
  • Pain: Varicose veins affect the flow of blood through the veins, oxygen that is carried through the blood does not reach the proper areas, leading to muscle cramps & pain near the site of the vein.
  • Bleeding: Since varicose veins are usually inflamed, they often press up against the skin, leaving them more susceptible to cuts.
  • Swelling: When blood isn’t pumping out of the legs properly due to damaged valves within the vein walls, blood begins to collect.
  • Blood Clots: Should a clot detach and enter the bloodstream, it can lead to life-threatening conditions such as thrombophlebitis or deep vein thrombosis.

While varicose veins may pose serious risks, the good news is that varicose veins can be eliminated with minimally invasive treatments covered by insurance. However, it’s essential to seek treatment immediately to minimize potential complications.

FAQs

In your leg, you have two sets of veins. They are called deep veins and superficial veins.

Deep veins are in the deeper part of the leg where the muscles are, and superficial veins are right under the skin.

In a normal person, the blood would circulate from the feet towards the heart in both sets of veins.

When someone has a venous insufficiency the blood will actually go up the deep veins and then go backwards into the superficial vein.

The blood will start pooling in the superficial veins.

Since the superficial veins are closest to the skin, they will start to bulge and create varicose veins. They are often bluish or purple in color.

Spider Veins are essentially a smaller version of varicose veins. They are red, purple, and blue vessels that are also twisted and turning. They are most often seen on the legs, chest, or face.

No. Varicose veins can occur deeper in the leg, where one can’t see them. Varicose veins are classified under the spectrum of venous insufficiency disease.

Venous insufficiency disease causes leg discomfort, swelling of the ankles and leg, itching, and weariness. Other signs and symptoms may be prickling, cramping, aching, and heaviness of the lower limbs after prolonged standing.

Keep an eye out for these symptoms besides simply visible veins.

In short, no. Exercise and compression stockings may help reduce some of the symptoms of varicose veins, but usually only medical treatment can effectively get rid of a varicose vein.

Progression of varicose veins can be dangerous as they may later become venous ulcerations. When left without treatment, complications may ensure including rashes, infections, bleeding, sores, and blood clots.

In rare cases, varicose veins can cause deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism which is life-threatening.
