Varicose veins are a common condition, especially among women, and more so those who fall within risk groups for developing them. For many, the discomfort associated with varicose veins is more of a factor than how unsightly they can be, although this is more than enough reason to want to be rid of them.
You can manage some of the discomfort on your own, but if your condition is more severe, or you simply wish for a more permanent solution there is ClariVein. It is a minimally invasive procedure that can treat varicose veins. To learn all about ClariVein's benefits reach out to the professionals at Advanced Vascular Associates in Morristown, Teaneck, Pompton Plains, and Jefferson, NJ.
Veins and Circulation
Varicose veins are veins that bulge and protrude visibly on your skin. You may experience physical discomfort associated with them. As your heart pumps blood throughout your body, the arteries that carry it from the heart and out to where it needs to go, and veins circulate the blood back to the heart. The problem occurs in varicose veins because the valves that should stop the flow of blood back in the wrong direction do not work as they should.
Varicose veins occur mostly on the legs because blood must work against gravity to flow it back up to the heart, and so these valves failing causes the blood to pool which further stretches the veins.

Excercise and compression stockings can aid in managing discomfort associated with varicose veins but to eliminate the source of the problem, which is the weakened vein, the typical approach has been invasive procedures that either remove the vein or close it.
This can be done safely because your body will reroute blood flow to the veins on the side of your legs. But ClariVein takes a different approach for similar results. Through a very small incision, a catheter is inserted which will treat the varicose vein, which means little to no discomfort during the procedure and a much faster recovery than with alternative, more invasive procedures.
