Understanding comprehensive vein care is important for maintaining healthy veins and preventing serious medical conditions.
What are Spider Veins? Spider veins, also known as telangiectasias, are small, thin veins that appear near the skin's surface. They are usually blue, purple, or red and can resemble spider webs or tree branches.
Usually your symptoms will tell you. We recommend a consultation with Dr. Peter Jensen and—depending on your symptoms—to have diagnostic tests using a special diagnostic tool, Duplex ultrasound.
In healthy veins, blood is pumped from the limbs back to the heart, conducted by valves that keep the blood flowing steadily. In the condition of venous reflux, the valves that conduct this steady flow of blood sometimes weaken or fail, causing blood to pool, or even reverse course, as it attempts to move through the veins.
Your vein treatment options have never been safer, more effective, less invasive andmore cost effective. Utah Vein Specialists offers a variety of state-of- the-art treatments.
