Trusted Utah Vein Clinic for Expert Vein Treatment & Care

It’s true, varicose or spider veins can be unattractive, and that’s a valid reason to have them treated. But they can also be signs of a serious circulation problem needing medical attention. Healthy veins are as important to your well being as your heart, lungs, or any other vital organ. The good news is, you don't have to suffer from painful, swollen, or embarrassing problems. A screening and non-invasive testing will determine if you’d benefit from medical treatment. Call or email Dr. Peter Jensen, board-certified vein treatment specialist in Salt Lake City, to set up a free screening.

Lifestyle Changes That Can Help

Changes in your everyday habits and routines can help prevent vein disease. Below are a few suggestions:

  • Avoid regularly wearing high heels. They limit the use of the calf muscles.
  • Avoid restrictive clothing that limits blood flow in the groin or calf muscles.
  • Avoid prolonged sitting or standing.
  • Take time each day to elevate your legs or take a walk. This will stimulate blood flow in your veins and help prevent valve failure.

Why Healthy Veins Matter

At our Utah Vein Clinic, we understand that healthy veins are vital to your overall well-being. Veins play a critical role in circulating blood back to the heart, and when they stop working properly, it can lead to conditions like varicose veins, spider veins, or more advanced vein diseases. These issues can cause discomfort, swelling, aching, and even serious health complications if left untreated. Our team of vein specialists emphasizes that vein health is not just cosmetic—it’s medical. Varicose veins, for instance, can indicate underlying venous insufficiency, a condition where the valves in the veins fail to function properly. By seeking timely vein treatment, patients can avoid worsening symptoms, prevent future complications, and improve their quality of life. Whether you’re dealing with spider veins that affect your confidence or painful varicose veins, our Utah Vein Clinic provides solutions tailored to your unique needs.

What is a Vein Specialist?

A vein specialist is a physician with advanced training and board certification in diagnosing and treating vein disorders. At our Utah Vein Clinic, Dr. Peter Jensen and our team focus exclusively on vascular health and use the latest technology to deliver safe, effective care. Unlike general practitioners, vein specialists are highly experienced in procedures such as endovenous laser treatment (EVLT), sclerotherapy, and minimally invasive vein surgeries. Patients trust vein specialists because they have the skills to recognize underlying venous insufficiency rather than just treating surface-level symptoms. Our clinic’s specialists also perform in-depth screenings using ultrasound technology to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Choosing a certified vein specialist ensures that your vein treatment addresses not only cosmetic concerns but also medical conditions affecting circulation. When you partner with our Utah Vein Clinic, you’re receiving care from trusted experts dedicated to improving both the appearance and health of your legs.

Understanding Varicose Veins and Spider Veins

At our Utah Vein Clinic, one of the most common concerns we treat are varicose veins and spider veins. Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that often appear on the legs and can cause pain, heaviness, or swelling. Spider veins, though smaller, create web-like patterns on the skin’s surface and may be associated with underlying circulation issues. Many patients initially seek treatment for cosmetic reasons, but our vein specialists stress the importance of medical evaluation. Varicose veins may be a symptom of venous reflux disease, which, if left untreated, can lead to complications such as skin ulcers or blood clots. Our comprehensive vein treatment approach includes diagnostic imaging, lifestyle recommendations, and cutting-edge procedures like radiofrequency ablation, laser therapy, and injection-based therapies. Whether you’re seeking relief from discomfort or hoping to restore confidence in your appearance, our Utah Vein Clinic provides personalized solutions designed to restore healthy circulation and long-term results.

Vein Treatment Options at Our Utah Vein Clinic

Modern vein treatment has advanced far beyond the invasive surgeries of the past. At our Utah Vein Clinic, we focus on minimally invasive, outpatient procedures that deliver results with little downtime. Some of the most common treatments we provide include:

Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT): A laser-based treatment that closes off diseased veins.

Sclerotherapy: A safe, injection-based vein treatment for spider and small varicose veins.

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): Uses radiofrequency energy to treat larger varicose veins.

Ambulatory Phlebectomy: A minimally invasive procedure to remove visible varicose veins.

Each patient receives a customized treatment plan developed by a vein specialist, ensuring the best outcomes for their individual case. Our clinic emphasizes comfort, safety, and long-lasting results. Many procedures take less than an hour and allow patients to return to daily activities the same day. With decades of combined experience, our Utah Vein Clinic continues to lead in effective, patient-focused vein treatment in Salt Lake City, Provo, Orem, and surrounding areas.

Lifestyle Changes That Support Vein Treatment

While medical procedures are often necessary, our vein specialists recommend lifestyle changes to support vein treatment and prevent recurrence. At our Utah Vein Clinic, we educate patients on practical steps to improve circulation and protect vein health. Simple changes such as elevating your legs daily, walking regularly, and avoiding long periods of sitting or standing can significantly reduce strain on your veins. Wearing compression stockings may also help alleviate symptoms and promote better blood flow. We advise patients to avoid high heels and restrictive clothing, as both can interfere with proper circulation. Maintaining a healthy weight and staying active are additional preventive measures that complement professional vein treatment. These lifestyle modifications not only enhance recovery after treatment but also help prevent the development of new varicose or spider veins. At our Utah Vein Clinic, we partner with each patient to ensure lasting results and improved quality of life.
