We hear so many explanations from patients who want to delay vein treatments for spider veins. "It's just cosmetic." "They don't bother me that much." "I don't have time." "I've got other problems to deal with first."
Unfortunately, you may not realize that walking around with untreated spider veins can actually lead to further medical complications. Because vein disease is a progressive condition. So waiting on your treatment can lead to further complications. What could those be? Here are five health issues that may come up if you delay treating your spider or varicose veins.
By now, we hope you're convinced about seeking help for vein disease. But how can you know if you're ready for vein treatments? Well, if you have any signs of spider or varicose veins, you qualify for treatment: it doesn't matter how large or small the problem.
Concerned about insurance covering your vein treatments? Unfortunately, we can't guarantee that fact. But, we can let you know that we accept many different insurance plans, and we're also happy to help you finance treatment in other ways if your insurance won't cover the cost of treatment.
And guess what: you have plenty of different treatment options! Depending on the severity of your condition, we may recommend something completely non-invasive, such as compression therapy. In other cases, cosmetic sclerotherapy may correct your concerns, while still other patients may benefit from options such as radiofrequency ablation, perforator ablation or phlebectomy.
We know that you may worry about the discomfort surrounding vein treatments, and that's a valid worry. Some patients do experience minor discomfort or bruising. Still, these effects are temporary, and less painful than living with progressive vein disease.
After your vein treatments, you can usually resume your regular activity routine. But you will have to follow some post-procedural directives, such as wearing compression socks and avoiding direct sunlight on your treatment areas. While you heal, you'll start seeing vein treatment results fairly quickly. Most patients notice a cosmetic difference within a few weeks of vein treatments. And symptom relief gets better throughout the entire healing process, which typically takes about three months for full results.
Clearly, varicose veins are so much more than a cosmetic concern. If left untreated, they can cause you to experience a whole host of serious medical complications.
