Varicose Vein Treatment in Venice, FL
What Is Varicose Vein Treatment?
Varicose veins are swollen or twisted veins that often appear just under the skin, usually on the legs. They can cause aching, heaviness, or visible bulges that make many people feel self-conscious. These veins develop when the valves that control blood flow inside the veins weaken, allowing blood to collect and stretch the vein walls.
At REJUVA Dermatology in Venice, FL, we offer gentle and effective treatments that improve both the look and comfort of your legs. Depending on your needs, our specialists may suggest options such as sclerotherapy or laser vein procedures. Sclerotherapy involves injecting a small amount of solution into the affected vein, which causes it to close and fade with time. Laser treatments use focused light to heat and seal the vein, allowing your body to naturally absorb it. Both methods help redirect blood flow to healthy veins, leaving the treated ones less visible and reducing symptoms.
Who Is Best for This Treatment?
Varicose vein treatment is ideal for people who notice visible or painful veins that affect daily comfort or appearance. You may benefit from treatment if you:
- Have veins that look large, raised, or rope-like
- Feel aching, throbbing, or heaviness in your legs
- Experience swelling or tiredness after standing or sitting
- Have skin irritation or discoloration near the veins
- Want to improve how your legs look and feel
During your consultation, our dermatology team will check your veins, review your health history, and recommend the treatment that fits your specific situation.
What Is the Downtime?
Recovery is quick and simple. Most people can walk and return to normal routines within one or two days. You may see mild redness or slight swelling where treatment was done, but this usually fades within a few days.
We often suggest light walking to encourage blood circulation. Avoid heavy workouts, hot baths, or standing for long hours during the first few days so your legs can heal properly.
How Long Do Results Last?
Once a treated vein closes, it will not come back. However, new veins may appear over time due to aging, family history, or lifestyle factors. Many patients enjoy clear results for years, especially when they maintain good habits like regular exercise, healthy eating, and not sitting or standing for long periods. If new veins appear later, they can be treated easily using the same methods.
Side Effects
Varicose vein treatment is very safe when done by experienced medical professionals. Side effects are usually minor and short-lived. You may notice:
- Light bruising or tenderness
- Temporary redness or swelling
- Faint skin color changes that fade with time
Serious problems are extremely rare. Our providers follow strict safety steps to make sure your treatment is comfortable and effective.
When Can I Resume Normal Activities?
You can walk right after treatment and return to light activities the same day. Many patients go back to work within 24 to 48 hours. To support healing, your provider may suggest that you:
- Wear compression stockings for several days
- Keep your legs elevated when sitting or resting
- Avoid high-impact exercise for a short period
- Stay active with light movement throughout the day
Following these tips will help you recover faster and get the best possible results.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the treatment painful?
Most people feel only mild discomfort. A numbing cream or local anesthesia is used to keep you comfortable.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on the number and size of your veins. Some people need just one session, while others may need a few visits for full improvement.
Can varicose veins come back?
Treated veins do not return, but new ones may appear over time. Routine follow-ups and healthy lifestyle choices can help reduce that chance.
How long does each session take?
A typical appointment lasts about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your treatment plan.
Do I need anesthesia?
Most treatments require only a numbing cream or a small injection of local anesthesia. You’ll be awake and relaxed during the procedure.
Are there activity limits afterward?
Normal routines may be resumed almost at once. Please refrain from strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot tubs for several days.
When will I see the results?
Many patients start noticing smoother, clearer skin within a few weeks. The full results develop over the next few months as your body naturally absorbs the treated veins.
Is treatment safe for all skin types?
Yes. The procedures we offer are safe for all skin tones and types when done by qualified professionals.
Will I need to wear compression stockings?
Yes, for a short time after treatment. They help with circulation and healing. Your provider will tell you how long to wear them.
Can men get this treatment too?
Yes. Varicose veins can affect anyone, and treatment works equally well for men and women.
