If you struggle with painful or unsightly veins in your legs, arms, feet, or elsewhere, you should really look at being treated in a vein treatment center. There are many of these treatment centers around the United States, mostly all with their own ways of treating certain problems. If you are trying to work up the courage to be seen in one of these centers, here are a few services that they offer, as well as how it could someday improve your life 

Ablation Treatments

An ablation is performed on large, painful veins that serve no great purpose. This procedure is basically sealing the vein by means of burning it from the inside. The vein will be cauterized, not allowing it to store or transport blood, which will shrink it substantially, some to the point of being unnoticeable. There are two ways to perform an ablation in a vein treatment center: an endovenous laser ablation or a radiofrequency ablation. The first cauterize the vein by focusing a powerful laser on the vein (keep in mind this is all done with anesthetics) while a radiofrequency ablation focuses sound waves to burn the vein.  Both are very effective methods. 

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is performed by a physician injecting a solution into a very visible spider or varicose veins. Injections can be performed with the help of an ultrasound, or simply as seen by your physician. Either way, once the solution is injected, your vein may begin to think that that vein is not healthy, and blood is diverse elsewhere, and the varicose or spider vein shrinks and eventually is soaked into the body. 

Vein Removals

If sclerotherapy or ablation is unsuccessful or does not work, a final solution is the removal of the unsightly vein or a phlebectomy. It may not be the ideal procedure, but following vein removals, some people who were almost paralyzed by their pain and discomfort of large veins have found their lives again. It is amazing how treating an annoying or painful vein can change your life. 

In conclusion, if you are living in pain with an enlarged, twisted, or frustrating vein, take the plunge to talk to a doctor at a vein treatment center near you. In this day and age, there really is no reason to have to suffer through a medical problem that could be easily treated. Get help for your vein today, and get your life back.
