Varicose Veins

Varicose Vein Before and After Treatment Pictures - Get Treatment for Vein Issues at East Bay Vein Specialists

Varicose veins are abnormal, non-functional veins in the legs and are a manifestation of a deeper circulation issue called venous insufficiency. Without treatment, varicose veins may lead to leg pain, cramping, leg swelling, superficial thrombosis or blood clots, skin discoloration, and ulcers or wounds. Varicose veins never get better on their own – they only get worse with time.

Genetics play the greatest role in whether an individual gets vein varicose veins disease. Other risk factors include multiple pregnancies, prolonged standing, and blood clots (deep vein thrombosis or DVT).

Many patients experience leg heaviness, leg cramps, or Restless Leg Syndrome. While using compression stockings and elevating legs may provide temporary relief, they don’t address the underlying circulation issues, which require the best varicose vein treatment.

Patients traveling from out of state or out of the country may have a video consultation with Dr. Malvehy prior to traveling for treatment.

If you have symptoms like pain, bleeding, or ulcers, vein treatment may be covered by Medicare and most commercial insurance.

“I so wish I had gone here when a friend told me about Dr Malvehy 3 years ago. There is so much misinformation about vein treatment. If you have leg pain, heaviness, itchiness, spider or varicose veins you need an ultrasound and not sclerotherapy. There may be a root cause of your vein issues that a dermatologist or even vascular surgeon will not diagnose properly. I tried years of sclerotherapy and my legs only worsened pain and appearance wise as years progressed. This doctor knows his stuff and the process has been enjoyable, efficient and educational at the same time. There is help with the right doctor and Dr Malvehy is the one to go to. I am very happy I finally went to his office. The facilities, staff and procedures are pleasant, friendly and warm. I will recommend him to everyone.”Dr. Malvehy exist.
