Breaking Varicose Vein Myths

Myth #1

Varicose veins are just a cosmetic flaw.

This is simply untrue. Varicose veins come from blood flow restriction that can cause circulatory problems.

Myth #2

Only women get varicose veins.

While nearly 25% of women are affected by varicose veins, nearly 15% of men are affected as well.

Myth #3

Varicose veins do not hurt.

Varicose veins cause swelling of the veins and circulatory problems that can lead to pressure and discomfort.

Myth #4

Varicose veins need to be treated with surgery.

The Advanced Vein Center offers Vnus Radio Frequency Vein Ablation, which closes off bad veins with a minimally invasive wire procedure, and Compression Therapy, helping you lose varicose veins quickly and without pain!
